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

The two major forces influencing polymer adhesion include the strength of the interfacial
bonds between the polymeric film and the surface of the solid and the internal stresses …

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 influence of plasticizers in film coating formulations on the adhesive properties of an
acrylic resin copolymer was determined using the butt adhesion technique. Hydrophilic and …

The objective was to determine the tackiness of acrylic and cellulosic polymer films in order
to make predictions on the tackiness (agglomeration) of coated dosage forms during coating …

Based on the assumption that tablet/film adhesion is due entirely to the summation of the
interactions of the intermolecular bonding forces in a perfectly bonded system, it is possible …

Capsular devices based on hydroxypropyl cellulose (Klucel® LF) intended for pulsatile
release were prepared by injection molding (IM). In the present work, the possibility of …

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

Soft gelatin capsules containing ibuprofen dissolved in either PEG 400 or Miglyol® 812
were coated with an aqueous dispersion of Eudragit® L 30 D-55 using a Mini Hi-Coater. The …

This paper, and two associated papers [Hede, PD; Jensen, AD; Bach, P. Ind. Eng. Chem.
Res. 2009, 48, 1905 and 1914], address the fluid-bed coating of placebo enzyme granules …
