THE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION, INVESTIGATION VIA THERMO AND X-RAY STIMULATED LUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OF SAROS GULF CLAY SAMPLE
Authors: KESKİN İlker Çetin 
Published: December 2023

Clay is mainly composed of illite, kaolinite, montmorillonite groups. Although it is abundant in nature, it is very difficult to find pure clay. The substances that make up clay are hydrous aluminum silicates. Each clay group contains different metal oxides or organic compounds. These impurities contained in minerals constitute an interesting field in luminescence and optical studies.
Although there are many studies on clay minerals, each sample shows its own unique characteristics. In this study, clay samples taken from Edirne-Keşan-Erikli Beach, located on the coast of Saros Gulf, were studied. Its crystallographic structure was determined by XRD analysis, its rheological properties and the elements it contained were determined by SEM-EDX analysis, and its structural properties were examined by FT-IR analysis. In optical absorption analysis, strong absorption bands were observed in the UV and Vis regions. In radioluminescence (RL) analysis, the emission spectrum formed by X-ray excitation are discussed. Likewise, in the thermoluminescence (TL) analysis using X-ray as primary excitation, peaks were observed in shallow and deep traps.

Authors: Ghwel Nesreen S , STreki Mahmud 
Published: December 2023

In previous work, the use of psyllium huskas the main component of sustained release preparations, was investigated. Granules of Metformin HCl containing different hydrocolloids namely; psyllium Husk and sodium carboxy-methyl cellulose (Na CMC), “System I”, and granules of sodium salicylate containing these hydrocolloids in addition to stearic acid, “System II’ were prepared. In vitro release studies in phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8) clearly revealed the superiority of psyllium husk and Na CMCcombination in sustaining the release of both drugs. The introduction of stearic acid in formulations SC5 and SP5 have, significantly, slowed down the release of Sodium salicylate to 46% and 53%, respectively, after 7 hours. Mathematical modeling of the release data revealed that the release mechanism which describes the diffusion of both drugs from these systems is driven by a complex behavior such as swelling, matrix erosion as well as diffusion through the swollen matrix of most formulations. Evaluation of the drug release mechanism from these systems suggested that the release could be described by a complex mechanism, which may involve First-order kinetics, Higuchi diffusion controlled as well as Korsmeyer Peppas models
