Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative evaluation of polymer concentration profile during swelling of hydrophilic matrix tablets using 1H NMR and MRI methods.

TL;DR: The aim was to determine the thickness of the swollen gel layer of matrix tablets and to develop a method for calculating the polymer concentration profile across the gel layer, which could be used as a general method for calculate polymer concentration profiles on other similar polymeric systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new approach combining different MRI methods to provide detailed view on swelling dynamics of xanthan tablets influencing drug release at different pH and ionic strength.

TL;DR: It is concluded that drug release is greatly influenced by changes in the xanthan molecular conformation, as reflected in changed thickness of the gel layer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of the state and dynamics of water in hydrogels of cellulose ethers by1H NMR spectroscopy

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to study the effect of the type of substituent of the cellulose ethers and the molecular mass on the state and dynamics of water in the respective hydrogels to specify the quantity of adsorbed water on the polymers or to calculate the average number of water molecules bound to a polymer repeating unit (PRU).
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectral characterization of diffusion in porous media by the modulated gradient spin echo with CPMG sequence.

TL;DR: Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill train of radiofrequency pulses applied to spins in the constant magnetic field gradient is an efficient variant of the modulated magnetic fieldgradient spin echo method, which provides information about molecular diffusion in the frequency-domain instead in the time-domain as with the two-pulse gradient spin echo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spin-Lattice Relaxation of Water in Cement Gels

TL;DR: The time evolution of the magnetization relaxation recovery of exchangeable water in ordinary Portland cement and white cement have been studied as functions of the hydration time together with the temperature and Larmor frequency dependence of the proton spin-lattice relaxation rates.
