Introduction: Pharmaceutical coating processes have generally been transformed from what
was essentially an art form in the mid-twentieth century to a much more technology-driven …

Aqueous-based film coating has become routine in the pharmaceutical industry. This
process eliminates the use of organic solvents and thus avoids economic, environmental …

Insoluble excipients are added to polymeric film coating solutions and dispersions to
improve the physical appearance of dosage forms, enhance the stability of photolytic drugs …

The effect of different types and levels of plasticizers on the thermal and physical-
mechanical properties of equilibrated methacrylic acid copolymers was studied. The …

In order to design a self-adhesive drug-loaded film for transdermal application of drugs,
piroxicam was used as a model drug and triacetin-plasticized Eudragit E was chosen as a …

Physicochemical properties of sodium alginate–magnesium aluminum silicate (SA-MAS)
composite films were investigated and a potential as a film former of SA-MAS dispersion for …

The mechanical and permeability properties of mixed ethylcellulose/pectin films cast from
dibutyl sebacate (DBS) plasticised aqueous dispersions of Aquacoat® and Pectin USP have …

The mechanical properties of polymeric films are traditionally evaluated on dry cast or
sprayed films. In this study, films were cast from an aqueous colloidal polymer dispersion …

Chitosan–magnesium aluminum silicate (CS–MAS) films were prepared and the effects of
MAS content and heat treatment of the CS–MAS dispersion before film casting on the …

Polymeric materials have been used to coat pharmaceutical solid dosage forms for
decorative, protective, and functional purposes. These thin polymeric film coatings may …
