Sn-doped α-Fe2O3 patulous nanotubes for high performance formaldehyde sensing

SnO₂-doped α-Fe₂O₃ patulous microtubes (SFPNs) are synthesized by an electrospinning method. The as-synthesized materials are characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray powder diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The gas sensing results show SFPNs possess an excellent sensing property to formaldehyde. The response value of SFPNs gas sensor to 50 ppm formaldehyde is 25.4 at 220 ℃. The lowest detecting limit of 1 ppm formaldehyde is 3.2. Response and recovery characteristic curves of SFPNs gas sensors to 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 3, 2 and 1 ppm formaldehyde are also tested. The results show a good reversibility and repeatability of SFPNs gas sensors. The sensor exhibits a high selectivity in the presence of acetone, ethanol, toluene, ammonia, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and butane. Moreover, the sensor has a good long-time stability.

Monitoring Process Variability for Stationary Process Data

Processes that arise naturally, for example, from manufacturing or the environment, often exhibit complicated autocorrelation structures. When monitoring such a process for changes in variance, accounting for that structure is critical. While charts for monitoring the variance of processes of independent observations and some specific autocorrelated processes have been proposed in the past, the chart presented in this article can handle a general stationary process. The performance of the proposed chart was examined through simulations for the first‐order autoregressive and first‐order autoregressive‐moving average processes and demonstrated with examples.

Classification of solid dispersions: correlation to (i) stability and solubility (ii) preparation and characterization techniques

Solid dispersion has been a topic of interest in recent years for its potential in improving oral bioavailability, especially for poorly water soluble drugs where dissolution could be the rate-limiting step of oral absorption. Understanding the physical state of the drug and polymers in solid dispersions is essential as it influences both the stability and solubility of these systems. This review emphasizes on the classification of solid dispersions based on the physical states of drug and polymer. Based on this classification, stability aspects such as crystallization tendency, glass transition temperature (T_g), drug polymer miscibility, molecular mobility, etc. and solubility aspects have been discussed. In addition, preparation and characterization methods for binary solid dispersions based on the classification have also been discussed.
