ABSTRACTDry-coated nanosilver is a promising material for bio-applications. Its inert and non-porous nanothin SiO2 coating preserves the plasmonic properties of the nanosilver and cures its toxicity by (1) preventing direct cell to silver contact and (2) blocking the release of toxic silver ions. However, fully hermetic coatings have, to date, not been produced. During the coating process, a certain number of core particles are either coated only partially, or escape the coating process entirely. Here, a systematic parametric study was undertaken in order to optimize an aerosol reactor for the synthesis and dry-coating of nanosilver. The reactor was optimized with respect to coating injection height, jet number, mixing flow rate. By synthesizing xAg/SiO2 composite particles, small silver sizes (9-11 nm) with relatively high Ag ion release were obtained. This enabled the quantitative evaluation of the coatings by Ag ion release measurements.

PCS (particle composite system) is a kind of dry coating equipment. The PCS process involves encapsulating UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular polyethylene) particles with a layer of SCB (super conductive carbon black) or ACB (acetylene black), and subsequently compacting these CB-encapsulated UHMWPE powders by compression molding to manufacture conductive polymer composites respectively. Morphologies of these composite particles were investigated by SEM. By SEM, we can see the conductive networks of CB in polymer composites. Coating-molding process with PCS can be used to form network structure in ceramics and metal as well.

This article studies the ion release from an unsmooth inner surface of a hollow fiber. A fractal diffusion model is established using the fractal derivative, and the effect of the fractal dimension on the ion release is elucidated. The present theory provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of a hollow fiber contained silver ions for practical applications.

The manuscript aims to provide glimpse on updated information relating thermo-mechanical dry coating processes (TMDCP) suiting in modifying surface attributes of fine and ultra-fine particle (FiUlFiP). FiUlFiPs are the integral component of pharmaceutical processes. They exhibit complex and queer properties, are conferred mostly from their surface attributes colligated with their higher surface area. Particle engineering technocrats extensively working for modifying surface & surface attributes of FiUlFiPs. These efforts are to find their worthy applications & new functionalities. Among available diverse particle engineering technologies/ process, TMDCP, a dry coating process (DCP), advocated being worthy and efficient. The TMDCP finds multidisciplinary applications, mostly in drug development & drug delivery. Said DCP involves fixing and/or attaching coating material (CoM) as particles herein synonym guest particle (GP) onto core/substrate particle (CSP) herein synonym host particle (HP). Attaching/ fixing the GPs onto HPs, in TMDCP, involve their mechanical and/or thermal interactions. Scientific literatures are evidencing diverse techniques and/or process, basing on discussed interactions. Amongst them novel techniques/ processes are Hybridization, Magnetically assisted impaction coating process (MAICP), Mechanofusion, Theta-composer, and high shear compaction. In this area diverse devices/ equipments are prevailing in market. Important are Hybridizer, Magnetically assisted impaction coater (MAIC), Theta-composer, Mechanofusion, Quadro Comil®, Cyclomix®, and many others. Attempt of this article is to discuss and present their method of working, working principle, applicability, limitations, and benefits. Contained information might be beneficial for professionals of pharmaceutical and allied field. Keywords: dry coating, equipment, particles, processes, thermo-mechanical.

A food packing system requires an antimicrobial environment with high air permeability to guarantee absolutely both food safety and long and reliable durability. A hollow fiber membrane containing silver ions is the best candidate for this purpose. However, a safe and controllable release process has become a pressing issue in the practical application. Here, we use the predator–prey model to predict the antimicrobial activity of silver ions released from a hollow fiber, and Staphylococcus aureus was applied to the antibacterial experiment. Both theoretical and experimental results show that there are an optimal concentration of the silver ions and an optimal release time. This article sheds a bright light on the design of a new kind of food packing systems using the hollow fiber membrane.
