Abstract
Zinc oxide-zinc tungstate (ZnO-ZnWO4 ) is a self-organized eutectic composite consisting of parallel ZnO thin layers (lamellae) embedded in a dielectric ZnWO4 matrix. The electromagnetic behavior of composite materials is affected not only by the properties of single constituent materials but also by their reciprocal geometrical micro-/nano-structurization, as in the case of ZnO-ZnWO4 . The light interacting with microscopic structural features in the composite material provides new optical properties, which overcome the possibilities offered by the constituent materials. Here remarkable active and passive polarization control of this composite over various wavelength ranges are shown; these properties are based on the crystal orientation of ZnO with respect to the biaxiality of the ZnWO4 matrix. In the visible range, polarization-dependent polarized luminescence occurs for blue light emitted by ZnO. Moreover, it is reported on the enhancement of the second harmonic generation of the composite with respect to its constituents, due to the phase matching condition. Finally, in the medium infrared spectral region, the composite behaves as a metamaterial with strong polarization dependence.

Abstract
Lab-scale investigations on the processing of small powder volumes are of special importance for applications in additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. Due to the technological importance of high-silicon electrical steel, and the increasing need for optimal near-net-shape AM processing, the aim of this study was to investigate the thermal behavior of a high-alloy Fe-Si powder for AM. An Fe-6.5wt%Si spherical powder was characterized using chemical, metallographic, and thermal analyses. Before thermal processing, the surface oxidation of the as-received powder particles was observed by metallography and confirmed by microanalysis (FE-SEM/EDS). The melting, as well as the solidification behavior of the powder, was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Due to the remelting of the powder, a significant loss of silicon occurred. The morphology and microstructure analyses of the solidified Fe-6.5wt%Si revealed the formation of needle-shaped eutectics in a ferrite matrix. The presence of a high-temperature phase of silica was confirmed by the Scheil-Gulliver solidification model for the ternary model Fe-6.5wt%Si-1.0wt%O alloy. In contrast, for the binary model Fe-6.5wt%Si alloy, thermodynamic calculations predict the solidification exclusively with the precipitation of b.c.c. ferrite. The presence of high-temperature eutectics of silica in the microstructure is a significant weakness for the efficiency of the magnetization processes of soft magnetic materials from the Fe-Si alloy system.

Abstract
Piperine (PIP) was evaluated as a natural coformer in the preparation of multicomponent organic materials for enhancing solubility and dissolution rate of the poorly water-soluble drugs: curcumin (CUR), lovastatin (LOV), and irbesartan (IBS). A screening based on liquid assisted grinding technique was performed using 1:1 drug-PIP molar ratio mixtures, followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses. Three eutectic mixtures (EMs) composed of CUR-PIP, LOV-PIP, and IBS-PIP were obtained. Therefore, binary phase and Tamman's diagrams were constructed for each system to obtain the exact eutectic composition, which was 0.41:0.59, 0.29:0.71, and 0.31:0.69 for CUR-PIP, LOV-PIP, and IBS-PIP, respectively. Further, bulk materials of each system were prepared to characterize them through DSC, PXRD fully, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In addition, the contact angle, solubility, and dissolution rate of each system were evaluated. The preserved characteristic in the PXRD patterns and FT-IR spectra of the bulk material of each system confirmed the formation of EM mixture without molecular interaction in solid-state. The formation of EM resulted in improved aqueous solubility and dissolution rate associated with the increased wettability observed by the decrease in contact angle. In addition, solution NMR analyses of CUR-PIP, LOV-PIP, and IBS-PIP suggested no significant intermolecular interactions in solution between the components of the EM. Hence, this study concludes that PIP could be an effective coformer to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of CUR, LOV, and IBS.

Abstract
Multicomponent crystalline solid forms (salts, cocrystals and eutectics) are a promising means of enhancing the dissolution behavior of poorly soluble drugs. The present study demonstrates the development of multicomponent solid forms of aripiprazole (ARP) prepared with succinic acid (SA) and nicotinamide (NA) as coformers using the hot melt extrusion (HME) technique. The HME-processed samples were characterized and analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), hot stage microscopy (HSM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The DSC and HSM analyses revealed a characteristic single melting temperature in the solid forms, which differed from the melting points of the individual components. The discernible changes in the FTIR (amide C=O stretching) and PXRD results for ARP-SA confirm the formation of new crystalline solid forms. In the case of ARP-NA, these changes were less prominent, without the appearance or disappearance of peaks, suggesting no change in the crystal lattice. The SEM images demonstrated morphological differences between the HME-processed samples and the individual parent components. The in vitro dissolution and microenvironment pH measurement studies revealed that ARP-SA showed a higher dissolution rate, which could be due to the acidic microenvironment pH imparted by the coformer. The observations of the present study demonstrate the applicability of the HME technique for the development of ARP multicomponent solid forms.

Abstract
Co-amorphous drug–drug systems have been developed with the overall aim of improving the physical stability of two or more amorphous drugs. Co-amorphous systems often show good physical stability, and higher solubility and dissolution rates compared to their crystalline counterparts. The aim of this study is to determine if eutectic mixtures of two drugs can form stable co-amorphous systems. Three drug–drug mixtures, indomethacin–naproxen (IND−NAP), nifedipine–paracetamol (NIF−PAR), and paracetamol–celecoxib (PAR−CCX), were investigated for their eutectic and co-amorphization behavior as well as their physical stability in the co-amorphous form. The phase diagrams of the crystalline mixtures and the thermal behavior of the co-amorphous systems were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. The solid-state form and physical stability of the co-amorphous systems were analyzed using X-ray powder diffractometry during storage at room temperature at dry conditions. Initial eutectic screening using nifedipine (NIF), paracetamol (PAR), and celecoxib (CCX) indicated that IND−NAP, NIF−PAR, and PAR−CCX can form eutectic mixtures. Phase diagrams were then constructed using theoretical and experimental values. These systems, at different drug-to-drug ratios, were melted and cooled to form binary mixtures. Most mixtures were found to be co-amorphous systems, as they were amorphous and exhibited a single glass transition temperature. The stability study of the co-amorphous systems indicated differences in their physical stability. Comparing the phase diagrams with the physical stability of the co-amorphous mixtures, it was evident that the respective drug–drug ratio that forms the eutectic point also forms the most stable co-amorphous system. The eutectic behavior of drug–drug systems can thus be used to predict drug ratios that form the most stable co-amorphous systems.

Abstract
Cocrystallization studies were undertaken to improve the solubility of a highly water-insoluble drug, febuxostat (FXT), used in the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. A liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) method was successfully employed, starting with the screening of various coformers for obtaining cocrystals. However, in this process, three eutectic systems with coformers (probenecid, adipic acid, and α-ketoglutaric acid) were formed. Affinities of the different functional groups to form a hydrogen bond and ΔpKa differences, leading to the eutectic formation, were discussed. The eutectic systems thus formed were further characterized and analyzed using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Binary thermal phase diagrams were plotted using different ratios of the systems to confirm the formation of eutectics, and pH-dependent solubility studies exhibited a significant decrease in the solubility in comparison to that of the drug for all three eutectic systems. The solubility of FXT reduced from 46.53 μg/mL (pH 5.63) to 46.03 μg/mL, 28.53 μg/mL, and 18.88 μg/mL; 770.58 μg/mL (pH 8.21) to 307.574 μg/mL, 116.63 μg/mL, 113.40 μg/mL; and from 13165.97 μg/mL (pH 10.13) to 1409.737 μg/mL, 854.51 μg/mL, and 1218.99 μg/mL for FXT-probenecid, FXT-adipic acid, and FXT-α-ketoglutaric acid eutectic systems, respectively. Furthermore, the microenvironmental pH studies were carried out to understand the effect of the microenvironment on the solubility of these eutectic systems. The contribution to solubility from lattice and nonlattice forces considering the microenvironment was also discussed.

Abstract
Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Class II and IV drugs suffer from poor aqueous solubility and hence low bioavailability. Most of these drugs are hydrophobic and cannot be developed into a pharmaceutical formulation due to their poor aqueous solubility. One of the ways to enhance the aqueous solubility of poorlywater-soluble drugs is to use the principles of crystal engineering to formulate cocrystals of these molecules with water-soluble molecules (which are generally called coformers). Many researchers have shown that the cocrystals significantly enhance the aqueous solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. In this review, we present a consolidated account of reports available in the literature related to the cocrystallization of poorly water-soluble drugs. The current practice to formulate new drug cocrystals with enhanced solubility involves a lot of empiricism. Therefore, in this work, attempts have been made to understand a general framework involved in successful (and unsuccessful) cocrystallization events which can yield different solid forms such as cocrystals, cocrystal polymorphs, cocrystal hydrates/solvates, salts, coamorphous solids, eutectics and solid solutions. The rationale behind screening suitable coformers for cocrystallization has been explained based on the rules of five i.e., hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding (and in general non-covalent bonding), length of carbon chain, molecular recognition points and coformer aqueous solubility. Different techniques to screen coformers for effective cocrystallization and methods to synthesize cocrystals have been discussed. Recent advances in technologies for continuous and solvent-free production of cocrystals have also been discussed. Furthermore, mechanisms involved in solubilization of these solid forms and the parameters influencing dissolution and stability of specific solid forms have been discussed. Overall, this review provides a consolidated account of the rationale for design of cocrystals, past efforts, recent developments and future perspectives for cocrystallization research which will be extremely useful for researchers working in pharmaceutical formulation development.

Abstract
To achieve high-temperature gasification-melting of combustible solid waste, ash melting behaviour under conditions simulating high-temperature gasification were studied. Raw ash (RA) and gasified ash (GA) were prepared respectively by waste ashing and fluidized bed gasification. Results of microstructure and composition of the two-ash indicated that GA showed a more porous structure and higher content of alkali and alkali earth metals among metallic elements. Higher temperature promoted GA melting and could reach a complete flowing state at about 1250°C. The order of melting rate of GA under different atmospheres was reducing condition > inert condition > oxidizing condition, which might be related to different existing forms of iron during melting and different flux content with atmosphere. Compared to RA, GA showed lower melting activity at the same condition due to the existence of an unconverted carbon and hollow structure. The melting temperature for sufficient melting and separation of GA should be at least 1250°C in this work.

Abstract
Recent work demonstrates that processes of stress release in prestrained elastomeric substrates can guide the assembly of sophisticated 3D micro/nanostructures in advanced materials. Reported application examples include soft electronic components, tunable electromagnetic and optical devices, vibrational metrology platforms, and other unusual technologies, each enabled by uniquely engineered 3D architectures. A significant disadvantage of these systems is that the elastomeric substrates, while essential to the assembly process, can impose significant engineering constraints in terms of operating temperatures and levels of dimensional stability; they also prevent the realization of 3D structures in freestanding forms. Here, we introduce concepts in interfacial photopolymerization, nonlinear mechanics, and physical transfer that bypass these limitations. The results enable 3D mesostructures in fully or partially freestanding forms, with additional capabilities in integration onto nearly any class of substrate, from planar, hard inorganic materials to textured, soft biological tissues, all via mechanisms quantitatively described by theoretical modeling. Illustrations of these ideas include their use in 3D structures as frameworks for templated growth of organized lamellae from AgCl-KCl eutectics and of atomic layers of WSe2 from vapor-phase precursors, as open-architecture electronic scaffolds for formation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neural networks, and as catalyst supports for propulsive systems in 3D microswimmers with geometrically controlled dynamics. Taken together, these methodologies establish a set of enabling options in 3D micro/nanomanufacturing that lie outside of the scope of existing alternatives.

Abstract
The thermodynamic temperature of the point of inflection of the melting transition of Re-C, Pt-C and Co-C eutectics has been determined to be 2747.84 ± 0.35 K, 2011.43 ± 0.18 K and 1597.39 ± 0.13 K, respectively, and the thermodynamic temperature of the freezing transition of Cu has been determined to be 1357.80 ± 0.08 K, where the ± symbol represents 95% coverage. These results are the best consensus estimates obtained from measurements made using various spectroradiometric primary thermometry techniques by nine different national metrology institutes. The good agreement between the institutes suggests that spectroradiometric thermometry techniques are sufficiently mature (at least in those institutes) to allow the direct realization of thermodynamic temperature above 1234 K (rather than the use of a temperature scale) and that metal-carbon eutectics can be used as high-temperature fixed points for thermodynamic temperature dissemination. The results directly support the developing mise en pratique for the definition of the kelvin to include direct measurement of thermodynamic temperature.

Abstract
Non-covalent derivatives (NCDs) are formed by incorporating one (or more) coformer molecule(s) into the matrix of a parent molecule via non-covalent forces. These forces can include ionic forces, Van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, lipophilic-lipophilic interactions and pi-pi interactions. NCDs, in both cocrystal and eutectic forms, possess properties that are unique to their supramolecular matrix. These properties include critical product performance factors such as solubility, stability and bioavailability. NCDs have been used to tailor materials for a variety of applications and have the potential to be used in an even broader range of materials and processes. NCDs can be prepared using little or no solvent and none of the reagents typical to synthetic modifications. Thus, NCDs represent a powerfully versatile, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective opportunity.

Abstract
Carboxylic acids, amides and imides are key organic systems which provide understanding of molecular recognition and binding phenomena important in biological and pharmaceutical settings. In this context, studies of their mutual interactions and compatibility through co-crystallization may pave the way for greater understanding and new applications of their combinations. Extensive co-crystallization studies are available for carboxylic acid/amide combinations, but only a few examples of carboxylic acid/imide co-crystals are currently observed in the literature. The non-formation of co-crystals for carboxylic acid/imide combinations has previously been rationalized, based on steric and computed stability factors. In the light of the growing awareness of eutectic mixtures as an alternative outcome in co-crystallization experiments, the nature of various benzoic acid/cyclic imide combinations is established in this paper. Since an additional functional group can provide sites for new intermolecular inter-actions and, potentially, promote supramolecular growth into a co-crystal, benzoic acids decorated with one or more hydroxyl groups have been systematically screened for co-crystallization with one unsaturated and two saturated cyclic imides. The facile formation of an abundant number of hydroxybenzoic acid/cyclic carboximide co-crystals is reported, including polymorphic and variable stoichiometry co-crystals. In the cases where co-crystals did not form, the combinations are shown invariably to result in eutectics. The presence or absence and geometric disposition of hydroxyl functionality on benzoic acid is thus found to drive the formation of co-crystals or eutectics for the studied carboxylic acid/imide combinations.

Abstract
Neodymium aluminate coatings have been prepared in-situ by the laser zone melting (LZM) method, using a CO2 SLAB-type laser emitting at 10.6 µm. Polycrystalline Al2O3 commercial plates have been used as substrates, and coatings were prepared from the corresponding mixtures of powdered neodymium and aluminium oxides as starting materials. Microstructure, studied by SEM and phase composition, studied by XRD, proved the in-situ formation of a NdAlO3/NdAl11O18 eutectic. As a result, a well integrated composite coating was formed. Nanoindentation tests are consistent with excellent integration between coating and substrate. Structural similarities between the eutectic components within the coating, as well as between these and the substrate, are consistent with the crystallographic concepts proposed by Vegas (Ramos-Gallardo & Vegas, 1997), where cation sub-arrays play an important role governing metal oxide structures. These structure sublattices are suggested as the driving force behind eutectic oxide formation.
