  • CDRI Awards 2021 for Excellence in Drug Research
    CDRI AWARDS for Excellence in Drug Research 2021 Invitation for Nominations / Applications Instituted by the CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow – 226 031 CDRI AWARDS for Excellence in Drug Research Preamble The CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI), Lucknow, was seventh in the chain of CSIR labs that were established in India right after independence India with an aim for technological independence of the Nation. CSIR-CDRI was broadly mandated with the task to revolutionise the pharmaceutical sector, which was almost non-existent at that time for accessibility and affordability of drugs. Today, CSIR-CDRI has evolved into a unique institution possessing end-to-end expertise in the domain of new drug development –its human resource and infrastructure today is second to none. Besides being the breeding ground of huge highly trained human resource for the drug development and manufacturing, out of 20 new drugs discovered, developed and approved in the post-independent India, 11 (8 synthetic + 3 phytopharmaceuticals) are contributions of CSIR-CDRI, Lucknow. These include Centchroman, Arteether, Centbucridine, Gugulipid, Bacosides Enriched Standardized Extract of Bacopa, etc. Centchroman (Ormeloxifene), a non-steroidal contraceptive with almost no toxicity, is now part of the National Family Program, whereas α-β Arteether (antimalarial) is included in the National Malaria Program. However, from the National front, new drug discovery and development is still in its infancy in India. India is a leader in global generic pharmaceuticals manufacturing and is being called as Pharmacy of the developing world, however, many generics manufactured in India are at the end of their respective product life cycles.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Engineering RESEARCH ON LOW FREQUENCY COMPOSITE TRANSDUCERS FABRICATED USING A SOL-GEL SPRAY-ON METHOD A Thesis in Engineering Science by Robert L. Cyphers c 2012 Robert L. Cyphers Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2012 The thesis of Robert L. Cyphers was reviewed and approved∗ by the following: Bernhard R. Tittmann Schell Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics Thesis Advisor Clifford Lissenden Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics Mark W. Horn Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics Judith A. Todd Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics // P. B.

Abstract Ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation is currently used in countless applications to maintain a system's operational integrity. Piezoelectric transducers are the devices commonly used in this field to search for defects. A sol-gel fabrication method utilizing a spray-on deposition method has proven to produce ultrasonic transducers useful in harsh environments. This procedure produces thin film transducers, which adhere directly to a substrate making it favorable in use with irregular surface geometries. These transducers operate at relatively high frequencies due to their minute thickness. The objective of this research is to investigate the ability for low frequency operation into the low kilohertz range. Depositing thicker layers of piezoelectric composites, including bismuth titanate and lead zirconate titanate, led to adhesion problems between the metal substrates and ceramic material. Delamination of the piezoelectric elements was determined to be caused by a large mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients.

  • High Temperature Ultrasonic Transducers: a Review
    sensors Review High Temperature Ultrasonic Transducers: A Review Rymantas Kazys * and Vaida Vaskeliene Ultrasound Research Institute, Kaunas University of Technology, Barsausko st. 59, LT-51368 Kaunas, Lithuania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: There are many fields such as online monitoring of manufacturing processes, non-destructive testing in nuclear plants, or corrosion rate monitoring techniques of steel pipes in which measure- ments must be performed at elevated temperatures. For that high temperature ultrasonic transducers are necessary. In the presented paper, a literature review on the main types of such transducers, piezoelectric materials, backings, and the bonding techniques of transducers elements suitable for high temperatures, is presented. In this review, the main focus is on ultrasonic transducers with piezoelectric elements suitable for operation at temperatures higher than of the most commercially available transducers, i.e., 150 ◦C. The main types of the ultrasonic transducers that are discussed are the transducers with thin protectors, which may serve as matching layers, transducers with high temperature delay lines, wedges, and waveguide type transducers. The piezoelectric materi- als suitable for high temperature applications such as aluminum nitride, lithium niobate, gallium orthophosphate, bismuth titanate, oxyborate crystals, lead metaniobate, and other piezoceramics are analyzed. Bonding techniques used for joining of the transducer elements such as joining with glue, soldering,

  • High Temperature Piezo V1.20.Pdf
    HIGH TEMPERATURE ULTRASONIC GAS FLOW SENSOR BASED ON LEAD FREE PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL Dalibor Krsmanovic Darwin College University of Cambridge A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge November 2009 Academic Supervisor: Dr R. V. Kumar Industrial Supervisor: W. Averdieck Declaration of Originality I am submitting this dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. The said thesis contains work I carried out between October 2006 and November 2009 at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, under the academic supervision of Dr. R. V. Kumar. I state that, except where indicated, the work described is to the best of my knowledge, original and my own work. This dissertation does not exceed the word limit of 60,000 words. Dalibor Krsmanovic Darwin College, Cambridge i Abstract The review of current technologies for measurement of gas velocity in stack flow applications is undertaken and it is shown that the ultrasonic time-of-flight method is the most suitable and offers a number of advantages over alternatives. Weakness of current piezoelectric based transducers are identified as the inability to operate at temperatures above 400 °C due to limitation of piezoelectric materials used, and a case for development of an alternative high temperature material is put forward. A novel and highly enhanced, lead free piezoelectric material, suitable for continuous operation at temperatures above 400 °C has been engineered for ultrasonic gas velocity sensor applications. Structural modification of pure bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) or BIT compound, through multi-doping at the Ti-site, has been found to enhance piezoelectric properties accompanied with a mild reduction in Curie temperature, Tc.
