Methods The solid dispersions were prepared by the fusion method with polyethylene glycol 6000(PEG 6000) as the carrier. Evaluation of the properties of the dispersions was performed using dissolution studies, X ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared (FT IR) spectroscopy. Results The rate of dissolution of silymarin was considerably improved as compared with pure silymarin when formulated in solid dispersions with PEG 6000. The data of the X ray diffraction showed some changes in the parameters of lattice spacing [ d ], peak position and relative intensities. FT IR together with those from X ray diffraction showed the absence of well defined drug polymer interactions. Conclusion The dissolution improvement of poorly soluble silymarin could be illuminated by the changes of the lattice parameters of PEG 6000 and the drug.展开更多

The composition, morphology and structural features of the hydrothermal products were examined with X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）. The experimental results indicate that in the conditions of n（NaOH）/n（MgSO4） of 1.25, the dosage of w（Na3PO4） crystal additives of 1.0% w（MgSO4）, stirring for 5 h at 180 ℃, the morphology of MgSO4·5Mg（OH）2·2H2O products is flaky and laminar, which is a kind of complex magnesium singlecrystal. The recycling of MgSO4 mother liquor was also investigated to make a full use of the materials and reduce disposal. The results prove that there is no adverse effect on the yield and purity of the products.展开更多

The components of the as-prepared products were confirmed by the elemental analysis, X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, thermal gravimetric analysis （TGA） and Fourier-transform infrared spectra （FTIR） analyses. Eu（BTC）（H20）.DMF with various morphologies, including particle-like, rod-like, straw-sheaf-like nanostructures, could be simply prepared by con- trolling the concentrations of the starting reactants. The optical measurements on the obtained Eu（BTC）（H20）- DMF indicated that all the nanomaterials show the characteristic emissions of the Eu3＋ ions at 578, 590, 612, 650, and 699 nm, which were at- tributed to 5Do→7FJ （J=0-4） transitions of the Eu3＋ ion, respectively. It was also noticed that the luminescent properties of the as-prepared products were heavily dependent on the morphologies and sizes of the nanomaterials. The assembled straw-sheaf-like architectures displayed the strongest emissions and the longest luminescence lifetime, which was mainly due to the fewest surface defects.展开更多
