Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrophilic Matrices for Controlled Drug Delivery: An Improved Mathematical Model to Predict the Resulting Drug Release Kinetics (the “sequential Layer” Model)
TL;DR: An improved design model is developed that can be used to predict accurately the required composition and dimensions of drug-loaded hydrophilic matrices in order to achieve desired release profiles, thus facilitating the development of new pharmaceutical products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of swelling process and diffusion front position during swelling in hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) matrices containing a soluble drug
TL;DR: The physical analysis of swellable hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose matrices loaded with increasing amounts of soluble and colored drug and exhibiting swelling, diffusion and erosion fronts clearly showed the importance of drug solubility and loading in the observation of the diffusion front.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbidimetric studies of aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) solutions
TL;DR: In this article, a freezing-thawing process of aqueous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solutions was undertaken to study the supermolecular PVA structures produced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesh size and diffusive characteristics of semicrystalline poly(vinyl alcohol) membranes prepared by freezing/thawing techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, a volume-based crystalline fraction of PVA on a wet basis varied from 0.052 to 0.116 and was a function of the degree of crystallinity.
