The document describes honeycomb polymer films that are created using a self-assembly process. The films have hexagonally ordered pores with spherical inner walls and apertures connecting pores. The process aims to create synthetic multicellular structures that mimic tissues for life science applications by manipulating conditions like temperature, humidity, airflow, and polymer concentrations to control the pore size. Precise control of pore size is important for applications like cell culturing and separation membranes.
Multi-layered materials are commonly used in various industries and may alter the mechanical, acoustic and optical properties of materials. Identifying the chemical composition of different layers by studying the cross section of a multi-layered film is important in research and development of composite materials. This presentation showcases the use of an FTIR microscope to acquire high-resolution data of the cross section of composite films. Analysis of the FTIR spectra helps to understand the formulation of different layers of polymer film.

Infrared microscopy, also referred to as FTIR microscopy, is ideal for identification of trace evidence in forensics and characterizing small particles in wide varieties of other fields. Combining the accurate material and chemical identification of FTIR spectroscopy with the ability to focus directly on micro-sized particles, makes this an indispensable technique. This presentation provides a couple of examples related to drug analysis and identification of explosives.

Comparative study of chemically and mechanically singed knit fabriceSAT Journals
Abstract Single jersey cotton knit fabric of 162 GSM was singed both chemically (enzyme treatment) and mechanically. Mechanically singed fabric exhibited more brightness and whiteness than chemically singed fabric and in the same manner chemically singed fabric resulted more yellowness than mechanically singed fabric. The color fastness to washing of the treated fabric experienced almost same results in both of the cases. On the other hand chemically singed fabric focused on prevailing more strength than mechanically singed one which was evaluated by bursting strength test. Eventually the CMC value of the chemically and mechanically singed, and then dyed, fabric remained within acceptable range. Microscopic view of the treated samples was also taken to capture the surface hairiness characteristics. Keywords: Cotton knit fabric, mechanical singeing, chemical singeing, brightness, whiteness, yellowness, strength, CMC pass fail, surface hairiness.

Purpose
Fluid-bed coating of microparticles using aqueous polymer dispersions is a challenge due to particle agglomeration. Agglomeration is an undesirable phenomenon especially for modified release products resulting in inconsistent and unreliable coating thickness and drug release profile. Due to the small particle size and relatively high coating level, the determination of agglomerated particles is complicated and cannot be performed by common methods such as sieve analysis and observation under light microscope.
The objective of this study was to investigate appropriate methods to determine the internal structure of coated microparticles to support decision making in the formulation and coating process development.
Effect of shade percentage on various properties of cotton knitted fabric dye...eSAT Journals
Abstract Shade percentage is an important factor which has various impacts on cotton knitted fabric. The technical factors GSM, CPI (Course per Inch), WPI (Wales per inch), shrinkage percentage, color fastness of cotton knitted fabric are influenced by various shade percentage. The main objective of this paper was to find out that various technical factors. The cotton knitted bleached fabric (plain single jersey, single lacoste, three thread fleece & rib) which were dyed by reactive dye using auxiliaries, then measured various GSM, CPI, WPI & their fastness properties of above fabric. It was observed that after increasing the shade percentage on cotton knitted fabric, GSM, CPI, WPI and shrinkage were increased, both lengthwise and widthwise shrinkage of all fabrics were occurred. It was also observed that, with the increase of shade amount decrease the color fastness of cotton knitted fabric. Keywords: Shade, Knitted fabric, Cotton, Reactive dye, GSM (Gram per Square meter).

What is a liposome Extruder? - working principle -usageJennifer Genizer
Genizer Liposome Extruders
Also knowns as: Exosomes Extruders, Artificial Cell Membrane Extruders; Liposomes Preparation devices by extrusion
Advantages: Liposome extruders are mainly used for the liposome formulation and achieving uniform size distributions. It is an ideal instrument to generate nanoscale liposome formulations, and to prepare exosomes and artificial cell membranes. By utilizing the tracked-etched filter membranes, the liposome extruders are capable of capturing large particles, precipitation and achieving sterile filtration.
Application: Research and Development for the liposomal drug delivery system, vaccine, gene delivery, and cosmetics
Liposome extruders are instruments used for liposome formulation and achieving uniform size distributions. They are beneficial in research and development for liposomal drug delivery systems, vaccines, gene delivery, and cosmetics. Liposome extrusion technology involves the use of liposomal phospholipid bilayers and specific pore-sized polycarbonate membranes to achieve uniform liposome sizes. There are different types of liposome extruders, such as hand-driven, jacketed, online, and multiple extruders. The selection of polycarbonate membranes is crucial for successful extrusion, and different pore sizes can be used to obtain desired particle sizes. A High-pressure homogenizer can also be combined with a liposome extruder for optimal results.
Genizer LLC provides microfluidics mixers, high pressure homogenizers, liposome extruders, nano particle analyzers and nano formulation services for pharmaceutical, biochemical, cosmetics and food industries.

Microencapsulation is a process by which very tiny droplets or particles of liquid or solid material are surrounded or coated with a continuous film of polymeric materials. Particles having diameter between 3-800µm are known as micro particles
Paper –based analytical devises are easy to use, portable and disposable. They can be used for many applications ranging from biomedical detection to environmental applications. This is because the promising property of paper that allows microfluidic transport of liquids makes a very good platform for detecting chemical and biochemical analytes. In order to suit the goal for detection paper can be fabricated and manipulated using different techniques
Micromeritics study in different formulation • Colloidal dispersion are characterized by
particles that are too small to be seen in the ordinary microscope. • The particles of
pharmaceutical emulsion and suspension and the “fines” of powder fall in the range of the
optical microscope. • Particles having the size of coarser powder , tablet granulation , and
granular salts fall with in the sieve range. Control of particle size and the size range of a drug
can be significantly related to its physical, chemical and pharmacological properties.
Bioavailability, and physical stability in some dosage forms can also be affected by particle
size.Micromeritics is the science and technology of small particles . The unit of particle size
most frequently used in micromeritics is micrometer, also called as a micron.
