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%.

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.

Background: Phytosomes are recently introduced drug delivery system and novel botanical formulation to produce lipophilic molecular complex to improve absorption and bioavailability of phytoconstituent. Myricetin is a well-known flavonoid with different biological effects and contributed in food preserving by free radical scavenging activity. However, bioavailability of myricetin is an important limiting factor for its antioxidant activities. Purpose: To overcome this limitation, in the present study we aimed to produce myricetin-loaded nano phytosomes to improve its physicochemical stability and bioavailability. Methods: myricetin-loaded nano phytosome was prepared by using phosphatidylcholine (PC) and cholesterol (CH). Myricetin nanophytosomes system was characterized by particle size analyzer, particle size distribution (PDI), encapsulation efficiency and potential antioxidant activity. Results: Results showed that formulation with the myricetin: PC: CH molar ratio of 1: 2: 0.8 had lower particle size (291.11 nm) and higher encapsulation efficiency percent (93%). Morphology analysis showed that myricetin nanophytosome spherical shape. The potential antioxidant data showed that incorporation myricetin in the phospholipid myricetin remained unchanged even after encapsulation of myricetin in binarynanophytosome formulation. Conclusion: Nano phytosomal formulation of myricetin showed promising potential in fortification of nutraceutical with water insoluble antioxidants.

Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat ulcerative colitis. This study prepared and characterized colon-targeted particles of P. chinensis saponins by particle design. Most of the P. chinensis saponins in the composite particles were coated with Eudragit S100, as seen in SEM micrographs; meanwhile, the characteristic diffraction peaks in X-RD, surface wettability, and particle size distribution of the composite particles were basically the same as those of Eudragit S100. These results suggested that the mechanochemical process could be used to prepare colon-targeted particles with core-shell structures with the drug coated by the excipient; the results also showed similar surface characteristics in the coating.

Well-dispersed CeO2 nanoparticles were successfully prepared in a simple system composed of sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)- octane-water (W/O) microemulsion in this paper. The morphology and microstructure of the products were characterized by the laser particle size analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). It was found that the CeO2nanoparticles obtained from this method have well-proportioned size distributions; the surfactant (AOT) molecule was adsorbed on the surface of CeO2nanoparticles precursor, which is favorable for the dispersion of CeO2nanoparticles; the CeO2nanoparticles calcined was a crystal of the cubic structure. In addition, the mechanism on the formation of the CeO2nanoparticles was also proposed in this paper.
