Granulation of fine eggshell powder to produce feedstock powder for binder jetting additive manufacturing: A feasibility study

Granulation of fine eggshell powder to produce feedstock powder for binder jetting additive manufacturing: A feasibility study Shakil Arman, Fahim Khan, Mostafa Meraj Pasha, Jackson Sanders, Zhijian Pei Abstract This paper explores the feasibility of granulating fine eggshell powder using spray freeze drying to produce feedstock powder for binder jetting additive manufacturing. Fine eggshell powder possesses carbon-capture potential but exhibits poor flowability, causing issues during powder spreading in binder jetting additive… Continue reading Granulation of fine eggshell powder to produce feedstock powder for binder jetting additive manufacturing: A feasibility study

Porous silicon nitride–based drug delivery carrier

Porous silicon nitride–based drug delivery carrier Michal Hičák, Ľubomír Medvecký, Miroslav Hnatko, Radoslava Stulajterová, Mária Giretová, Monika Tatarková, Zoltán Lenčéš, Pavol Šajgalík Abstract Tetracalcium phosphate/monetite biocement was modified with the addition of 30 wt% highly porous silicon nitride/α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) microgranules. The volume ratio of Si3N4 and α-TCP in microgranules was 1:1 and showed good… Continue reading Porous silicon nitride–based drug delivery carrier

Formation of dry beads for bioactives encapsulation by freeze granulation

Formation of dry beads for bioactives encapsulation by freeze granulation Mackenzie M. Hansen, Richard W. Hartel, Yrjö H. Roos Abstract Solid beads formed by whey protein isolate (WPI) and various sugars/polyols with a wide range of glass transition temperatures showed potential as structures for encapsulation of Aronia berry bioactives. Whey protein isolate (WPI), Aronia extract,… Continue reading Formation of dry beads for bioactives encapsulation by freeze granulation
