TLDR
The study confirms the satisfactory coating potential of the hot-melt fluid-bed coating process on large spherules or granules with Compritol 888, and several competing mechanisms are also involved, including a diffusion-controlled process and a dissolution mechanism.

Physical and thermal characterisation of Precirol and Compritol as lipophilic glycerides used for the preparation of controlled-release matrix pellets.

TL;DR: The evaluation of the thermal and rheological properties of Precirol and Compritol mixtures have shown that the use of such mixtures, presenting well distinct melting properties, could be a very interesting tool for the preparation of high fatty binder content prolonged-release pellets in high shear mixers if the product temperature is carefully controlled during the pelletisation process.

In vitro controlled release of sodium ferulate from Compritol 888 ATO-based matrix tablets.

TL;DR: The co-mixing of polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) in the waxy matrices played a meaningful role in controlling the drug release for 24h, which might be attributed to the diffusion-controlled mechanism.

Multiparticulate Oral Drug Delivery

TL;DR: Bodmeier et al. as discussed by the authors discussed the development of Modified-release Pellets Mechanisms of Release from Coated Pellets and the manufacturing of Multiparticulate Dosage Forms.

Controlled release: mechanisms and release.

TL;DR: In this paper, a control-release system of drug administration is discussed with an explanation of how the controlled release of agents according to zero-order of 1st-order kinetics arises from membrane-moderated devices and the application of diffusion laws.

Characterization of a hot-melt fluid bed coating process for fine granules.

TL;DR: The equipment modifications and process changes necessary to perform hot-melt particle coating in a fluid bed granulator in a specific case is presented in which partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil is coated onto fine granules composed of a hydrophobic drug and sucrose.
