Fiber‐forming blend polypropylene‐polyvinyl alcohol

The preparation of a fiber‐forming blend consisting of polypropylene and polyvinyl alcohol mixed with glycerol and with polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride were studied. The physical and mechanical properties of blend fibers were also studied. The rheological measurements for semiquantitative evaluation of technological compatibility of the components and for processing the polymeric material in extruding and spinning process were carried out. The experimental results revealed the technological compatibility of the polypropylene‐polyvinyl alcohol blend in the presence of glycerol and polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride. The colloidal structure of interface layer is assumed to be in a three‐ or four‐component system. The mixture of polyvinyl alcohol with glycerol allows for the preparation of well spun fiber‐forming polypropylene blends. Polypropylene‐polyvinyl alcohol blend fibers consisting of up to 20% polyvinyl alcohol with sufficient mechanical properties, higher porosity and significantly higher sorption of water than polypropylene fibers alone were prepared.

Universal behaviour of a wave chaos based electromagnetic reverberation chamber

In this article, we present a numerical investigation of three-dimensional electromagnetic Sinai-like cavities. We computed around 600 eigenmodes for two different geometries: a parallelepipedic cavity with one half-sphere on one wall and a parallelepipedic cavity with one half-sphere and two spherical caps on three adjacent walls. We show that the statistical requirements of a well operating reverberation chamber are better satisfied in the more complex geometry without a mechanical mode-stirrer/tuner. This is due to the fact that our proposed cavities exhibit spatial and spectral statistical behaviours very close to those predicted by random matrix theory. More specifically, we show that in the range of frequency corresponding to the first few hundred modes, the suppression of non-generic modes (regarding their spatial statistics) can be achieved by reducing drastically the amount of parallel walls. Finally, we compare the influence of losses on the statistical complex response of the field inside a parallelepipedic and a chaotic cavity. We demonstrate that, in a chaotic cavity without any stirring process, the low frequency limit of a well operating reverberation chamber can be significantly reduced below the usual values obtained in mode-stirred reverberation chambers.     

Genuinely multidimensional characteristic‐based scheme for incompressible flows

This paper presents a novel multidimensional characteristic‐based (MCB) upwind method for the solution of incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. As opposed to the conventional characteristic‐based (CB) schemes, it is genuinely multidimensional in that the local characteristic paths, along which information is propagated, are used. For the first time, the multidimensional characteristic structure of incompressible flows modified by artificial compressibility is extracted and used to construct an inherent multidimensional upwind scheme. The new proposed MCB scheme in conjunction with the finite‐volume discretization is employed to model the convective fluxes. Using this formulation, the steady two‐dimensional incompressible flow in a lid‐driven cavity is solved for a wide range of Reynolds numbers. It was found that the new proposed scheme presents more accurate results than the conventional CB scheme in both their first‐ and second‐order counterparts in the case of cavity flow. Also, results obtained with second‐order MCB scheme in some cases are more accurate than the central scheme that in turn provides exact second‐order discretization in this grid. With this inherent upwinding technique for evaluating convective fluxes at cell interfaces, no artificial viscosity is required even at high Reynolds numbers. Another remarkable advantage of MCB scheme lies in its faster convergence rate with respect to the CB scheme that is found to exhibit substantial delays in convergence reported in the literature. The results obtained using new proposed scheme are in good agreement with the standard benchmark solutions in the literature. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Rapid, practical and predictive excipient compatibility screening using isothermal microcalorimetry

Conditions for conducting excipient compatibility studies via isothermal microcalorimetry were explored using model reactions. The resulting recommended procedure for rapid and practical screening consisted of using binary mixtures (100 mg of each component), the addition of 20% (w/w) water, and monitoring the mixture at 50°C for 3 days using an isothermal microcalorimeter. The correlation between calorimetric excipient compatibility results and formulation stability was investigated for two developmental drugs. A comparison of calorimetric results to actual formulation stability suggested that it was possible to predict relative stability within functional classes. However, caution should be exercised in such predictions, because apparent reaction enthalpies were found to vary three-fold among excipients in the same functional class. Based on these observations, a two-step procedure is suggested for efficient development of stable formulations. First, excipient compatibility screening should be conducted using a rapid calorimetric technique. The calorimetric results are then used to evaluate relative risk of incompatibility for each excipient within a particular functional class. The calorimetric data and the functional requirements of the dosage form are then integrated in developing a limited number of model formulations that are likely to succeed from both a performance and a stability perspective. The second step of the process is to conduct traditional HPLC-based accelerated stability studies on the limited number of model formulations.
