The flow of carrier particles, coated with active drug is studied in a prototype dry powder inhaler. A novel, multiscale approach consisting discrete element model (DEM) to describe the particles coupled dynamic large eddy simulation (LES) nature applied. consists three different scales: micro‐scale, meso‐scale, and macro‐scale. At interactions small larger wall, air flow, each other thoroughly using modeling detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD), i.e., resolving structures around...
The efficacy of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for drug delivery strongly depends on their stability and cell uptake. Both properties are governed by compositions internal structure. To test the effect composition NLC uptake stability, three kinds liquid lipids with different degrees unsaturation employed. After ensuring homogeneous size distributions, thermodynamic characteristics, mixing characterized. Then rates predominant pathways determined. Although same surfactant is used in all...
Particle cycle and residence time distributions are critical factors in determining the coating quality Wurster process. Positron emission particle tracking experiments performed to determine times of particles different regions a fluid bed. The results show that tend recirculate sneak out below from tube. also larger batch size leads shorter narrower distribution (CTD). It is possible avoid recirculations obtain CTD by selecting operating conditions appropriately or via equipment design....

Abstract The quality of a coated pharmaceutical tablet can be strongly affected by the interactions water droplets with porous substrate during processes such as coating process. Three different mechanisms co-exist in process: spreading, absorption and evaporation. Disentangling fundamental understanding these phenomena therefore crucial for achieving higher products (e.g. longer shelf-life tablets) controlling efficiency This paper aims to investigate spreading after droplet impingement on...
Fluidized bed coating has been used to coat pellets or tablets with functional substances for a number of purposes. In this process, particle wetting, drying and film formation are coupled motion. It is therefore interest study motion in such fluidized beds use the results develop model predicting quality final product. paper, we present from DEM-CFD simulations, i.e. discrete element method computational fluid dynamics simulations laboratory-scale Wurster that was also employed positron...
