Soluplus® is a novel amphiphilic polymer that has been shown to enhance the solubility and
drug dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs. However, there still is a lack of information …

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 plasticizers (glycerol, vitamin E TPGS and triacetin) and their
concentrations on the physico-mechanical properties of pullulan based oral films was …

Films containing polyethylene oxide (PEO) and a model drug, either guaifenesin (GFN) or
ketoprofen (KTP), were prepared by hot-melt extrusion. The thermal properties of the hot …

An array of water-soluble polymer blends composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and
polyethylene glycol (PEG) have been synthesized by the solution casting technique. The …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of n-alkenyl succinic anhydrides
(n-ASAs) to improve the film-forming characteristics of a novel coating polymer, potato starch …

Polymers, as a group, are invaluable to man. Their origin can be traced as far back as the
beginning of life. For example, the natural polymer, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), is an …

Starch acetates (SA) have been investigated as novel, multifunctional excipients for the
direct compression tableting process. In this study, the film‐forming ability of SA (DS 2.8) and …

Objectives This work aimed to evaluate the performance of nanoparticle-loaded films based
on matrices of polymethacrylates and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) intended for …

The physicochemical and mechanical properties and the mechanisms of drug release from
drug delivery systems prepared by hot-melt extrusion were investigated. The influence of …
