Molecular Transport Kinetics of Non-Polar Solvents Through AGNP Filled EPDM Elastomeric Composites
Abstract: EPDM Based rubber composites can be used in tank and pipe lining works. In these applications one of the major requirements is that the composite must have good fluid permeability and chemical degradation resistances in their working environment. In order to enhance the performance of EPDM rubber to suit these applications, scientists and engineers are trying to develop novel nanocomposites by incorporating nano fillers. In the present work, to ensure …

Polymeric Micelles for Medicinal Plant Solubilization and Delivery of Bioactive Compounds
Abstract: This study involved the design, fabrication, and characterization of polymeric micellar nanocomposites utilizing amphiphilic block copolymers to effectively encapsulate and transport hydrophobic phytoconstituents. The selected bioactive molecule is curcumin, a polyphenol with limited water solubility. A polymeric system known as PEG-PCL was utilized to fabricate core-shell nanostructures by a solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly method. The resulting nanocomposites exhibited homogeneity and colloidal stability, characterized by a zeta potential of −18.7 ± 1.4 …

Development and Assessment of Levetiracetam Microspheres Utilizing Synthetic and Natural Polymers: A Biomedical Engineering Perspective
Abstract: In the present study, comparative study of Levetiracetam loaded microspheres using Ethyl cellulose as synthetic and Sodium alginate as natural polymers was done. Solvent evaporation and ionic gelation technique has been successfully employed to produce Levetiracetam loaded ethyl cellulose and sodium alginate microspheres with optimal drug encapsulation that sustained the drug release over a period of time. Based on the pre-formulation studies E1 to E4 and S1 to S4 batches …
