Article Abstract
The effect of colloidal silicon dioxide (CSD) on powder flow properties of poor-flowing excipient lactose 200 M was investigated. Binary mixtures of different ratios of CSD as glidant were examined using a modern image-based flow measuring technique. Special attention was placed to subtle variations in powder flow from small changes in glidant concentration (0.025% w/w). Understanding the modes of interaction of particles and their effects on flowability using the method predicted the die filling performance during tablet manufacture. In addition, the importance of moisture content on powder flow properties was empirically underlined. A more efficient range of CSD was detected from 0.10 to 0.50% w/w in most of the tested conditions, which revealed a significant improvement in powder flow performance compared to higher amounts typically handled in the pharmaceutical industry.

High Shear Conversion of Elemental Bismuth in Water Under Air to 2D Bismuth Oxycarbonate.
Chemistry

2D Bismuth oxycarbonate (2D BOC) nanosheets have a unique layered structure with many applications, including capture and reduction of carbon dioxide. Processing powdered elemental bismuth in water under ambient air conditions using a vortex fluidic device (VFD) results in the formation of 2D BOC without the need of surfactants or other excipients. The induced high shear mechanical energy in the form of micron/submicron topological typhoon like spinning top (ST) fluid flow drives the conversion, which we propose initially melts the metal particles which are spontaneously oxidised at the liquid-quartz tube interface to form 2D bismuth oxide (BiO).

Roller compaction is often utilized as the first step to improve flow properties and homogeneity of pharmaceutical mixtures. Since the dry granulation process is less complicated than its counterparts in the industry, it is possible to perform screening experiments readily to investigate granulate quality for further operations. In this study, the aim of the investigation focused on the effect of roller compaction on the dissolution of granules and tablets of two pharmaceutical formulations that contain APIs of different biopharmaceutical classification.

Potassium metal batteries are considered as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. However, their practical development is hindered by the insufficient capacity output and persistent dendritic proliferation at the anode side. Here graphene-skinned hexagonal boron nitride powder is demonstrated synthesized via fluidized bed-chemical vapor deposition, realizing conformal growth of layer-controlled graphene (5-90 layers) over h-BN with atomically coupled heterointerfaces.

The pervasive accumulation of tetracycline (TC) in aquatic ecosystems poses severe ecological and health threats, yet conventional technologies rarely achieve reliable removal under continuous-flow conditions. To overcome the intrinsic brittleness, aggregation and leaching of powdered ZIF-67, this study developed novel alginate-encapsulated MOF composite gel spheres (ALG/ZIF-67) via in-situ crystallization. This simple strategy generates hierarchical pores, anchors Co-N active sites and imparts mechanical robustness without sacrificing adsorption kinetics.
