Background: Xestospongia sp. is a species of the Demospongiae class that can be used as a medicinal substance. Xestospongia sp is known to have various activities such as anticancer, antibiotic, anti-fungal, cardiotonic, and antimalarial. One of the ways to make the formulation of natural ingredients is the phytosome vesicle technique. This method can be used to increase the penetration of compounds through cell membranes, increase their absorption and increase its bioavailability in the body. Objective: The aim of this study was to obtain the optimum phytosome composition in the ethanol extract of Xestospongia sp. and phosphatidylcholine with approprite vesicle characteristics. Methods: The preparation was carried out by varying the extract and phosphatidylcholine with a thin layer hydration method at a ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, and 2:2 and and phytosome characterization was carried out in each of these formulas to obtain the optimal formula. Results: In this study, the optimum phytosome formula has met the criteria based on morphological test parameters using an optical microscope obtained by spherical morphology, stability of physical appearance observations stored at 2oC-8oC ± 1oC temperature, pH measurement using a pH meter obtained a pH value of 4.20, and particle size determination using the Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) obtained a particle size of 180.6 nm and particle distribution value (IP) of 0.133. Conclusion: Composition of the optimum phytosome formula in the ratio of extract and phosphatidylcholine 1: 1 with the LUV phytosome category (Large Unilamellar Vesicle)

The effect of milling time and sintering process on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3-based X9R ceramics was investigated. The characterization of the raw powders and the sintered ceramic was carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The particle size distribution of the mixed powders was examined by Laser Particle Size Analyzer. The results shown that with the milling time extended, the Cruie Peak was depressed, or even disappeared. Moreover, with the rise of sintering temperature, the dielectric constant of the ceramics increased and the dielectric loss decreased gradually. Eventually, by milling for 11h and sintering at 1090°Cfor 2h, good dielectric properties were obtained, which were ε25°C≥ 2526, εr/εr25°C≤± 12% (–55~200°C), tanδ≤1.12% (25°C).

In this study, a amphiphilic copolymer, poly ((N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylamide-co- (octadecylacrylate)-co-(Falate-(polyethyleneglycol)-(acrylicacid)))(P(NIPA-co-AAm-co-ODA-co-FPA)) micelles was synthesized by free radical random copolymerization. The obtained amphiphilic copolymers were self-assembled into micelles, which exhibited thermally sensitivity. LCST of the micelles was detected by uv-vis spectrophotometer. The diameter and morphology of micelles were determined by laser particle size analyzer (LPSA) and transmittance electron microscope (TEM), respectively. The micelle with a diameter of 60 nm and LCST of 40 oC was obtained by utilizing of ODA and the feed ratio of NIPA and AAm, respectively, which is satisfied for drug delivery in living body. The maximum DLC was achieved with the amount of ODA (180mg).

In present work, ceria microspheres were synthesized by template hydrothermal method. Crystalline form of the as-synthesized ceria microspheres was defined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Dispersibility of ceria microspheres was comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and laser particle size analyzer. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light absorption performances of ceria microspheres with several different sizes were compared by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that ceria microspheres presented excellent UV absorbent property and the size influence was remarkable.

The Lime oil of Citrus aurantifolia was microencapsulated by coacervation technique employing gelatine and alginates as the shells, and calcium chloride as cross linker. Optimization of core/shell ratio, speed and temperature of stirring was carried out. Structure and shape of the microcapsules were characterized by particle size analyzer (PSA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. The properties of microcapsules such as, yield, particle size distribution, oil content, oil load, and encapsulation efficiency were also determined. Upon condition of ratio core/shell 0.49, speed and temperature of stirring at 600 rpm and 35 �C respectively, the microcapsules of LOs with improved performance were achieved with efficiency of 46% and oil content of 78%.

Li-Ti-O (abbreviated as LTO) nano-composites were synthesized via sol-gel process, and then doped BaTiO3 based X7R type ceramics. The LTO nano-composites and their ceramics were characterized by means of thermaogravimetric, Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray diffraction methods, transmission electron microscopy. We also characterized the dielectric properties of the LTO doped BaTiO3 based ceramics of X7R type. The results indicated that LTO nano-composites were nanometer scale powders. The pH value and calcining temperature had an influence on particle size of LTO sintering aids. At pH about 3 and with calcining at 600 °C, the nano-composites attained minimum particle size (about 10 nm). By adding 0.10 wt% of the LTO nano-composites, the temperature permittivity achieved about 4200 when sintered at 1240 °C for 4 h, and the dielectric properties met X7R standard.
