General description

Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is a highly water soluble crystalline solid widely used in nanomaterial synthesis and thermal energy storage.

Application

Magnesium chloride hexahydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles for flame retardant applications.
  • As magnesium source to prepare hydroxyapatite nanoparticles for biomedical application.
  • To fabricate phase change materials for passive thermal control of lithium-ion batteries.

Telmisartan (TEL) belongs to BCS class II (low solubility/high permeability) and exhibits the pH-dependent drug release. Since 3-aminopropyl functionalized magnesium phyllosilicate (aminoclay) can intercalate or adsorb the negatively charged molecules via the electrostatic interaction, TEL-aminoclay complex was synthesized to improve

Brittleness is one of the important material properties that influences the success or failure of powder compaction. We have discovered that the reciprocal of diametrical elastic strain at fracture is the most suitable tablet brittleness indices (TBIs) for quantifying brittleness

This article describes a liquid chromatographic/tandem mass spectrometric method, based on the use of precursor ion scan as the acquisition mode, specifically developed to detect indole-derived cannabinoids (phenylacetylindoles, naphthoylindoles and benzoylindoles) in biological fluids (saliva, urine and blood). The method
