A new method is presented for mesoscopic simulations of particle dispersions in liquid crystal solvents. It allows efficient first-principle simulations of the dispersions involving many particles with many-body interactions mediated by the solvents. Demonstrations have been performed for the aggregation of colloid dispersions in two-dimensional nematic and smectic-C* solvents neglecting hydrod...

in order to enhance in vitro dissolution and content uniformity of poorly soluble drug glimepiride by preparing solid dispersions using modified solvent fusion method, solid dispersions of drug were prepared by modified fusion solvent method using peg 6000 and pvp k25 (as carrier). eight batches (f1-f8) were prepared by factorial design (23) by taking three factors i.e. the concentration of: dr...

This technical tip describes the use of a novel binder system based upon sulfopolyester chemistry which eliminates the deficiencies of current binder systems for joinery applications providing enhanced characteristics. Eastek polymer dispersions Eastek polymer dispersions are aqueous dispersions of sulfopolyester polymers based upon monomer building blocks, acids, and 5-(sodiosulpho) isophthali...

In order to improve the aqueous solubility and dissolution of Tacrolimus (TAC), amorphous solid dispersions of TAC were prepared by hot melt extrusion with three hydrophilic polymers, Polyvinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate (PVP VA64), Soluplus® and Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC), at a drug loading of 10% w/w. Molecular modeling was used to determine the miscibility of the drug with the carrier polym...

Dilute ( ~10% w/v) unsonicated phosphatidylserine dispersions in Hz0 contain spherical particles of a wide size distribution (0.1 to 15 q). The majority have diameters between 0.1 to 2 pm and lack the multilamellar arrangement of bilayers typical of unsonicated lecithin dispersions. Sonication uroduces small thermodynamically unstable vesicles surrounded by a single closed bilayer with an avera...

Manufacturing tolerancing is intended to determine the intermediate geometrical and dimensional states of the part during its manufacturing process. These manufacturing dimensions also serve to satisfy not only the functional requirements given in the definition drawing, but also the manufacturing constraints, for example geometrical defects of the machine, vibration and the wear of the cutting...

The objective of the study is to prepare, characterize and evaluate starch phosphate, a new modified starch as a carrier in solid dispersions for enhancing the dissolution rate of ritonavir. The feasibility of formulating solid dispersions of ritonavir in starch phosphate into compressed tablets with enhanced dissolution rate was also investigated. Starch phosphate was prepared by reacting star...

C-trim is a healthy food product containing soluble dietary fibre β-glucan. The dispersion of C-trim in water is a hydrocolloid biopolymer. The linear and non-linear rheological properties of dispersions of C-trim biopolymers were investigated. The linear viscoelastic behaviours for C-trim dispersions were dependent on the β-glucan that C-trim contained. The C-trim20 and C-trim30, which have ab...

We investigated the pressure driven flow of concentrated colloidal dispersions in a converging channel geometry. Optical microscopy and image analysis were used to track tracer particles mixed into dispersions of sterically stabilized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres. The dispersions were drawn into a round 0.5 mm capillary at one of two pump speeds (^ applied pressure): v1 1⁄4 0.245 ml...

in the present study solid dispersions of the antifungal drug ketoconazole were prepared with pluronic f-127 and pvp k-30 with an intention to improve its dissolution properties. investigations of the properties of the dispersions were performed using release studies, differential scanning calorimetery (dsc), x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) and fourier transform infrared (ftir). the results obta...
