A. Delabouret et al., APPLICATION OF AN ORIGINAL PROCESS FOR OBTAINING COLLOIDAL DISPERSIONS OF SOME COATING POLYMERS - PREPARATION, CHARACTERIZATION, INDUSTRIALSCALE-UP, Drug development and industrial pharmacy, 21(2), 1995, pp. 229-241
An original process for obtaining colloidal dispersions were used to p
repare pseudolatex of coating polymers (Eudragit E 100 and Eudragit S
100). The method consists in introducing under magnetic stirring; a so
lution of the polymers in a water-miscible solvent into an aqueous sol
ution containing surfactant. In these conditions, polymers precipitate
spontaneously in nanospheres. Investigations of some manufacturing pa
rameters (initial polymer concentration, nature and concentration of s
urfactant) have allowed development of formulae for a semi-industrial
scal-up. Characteristics of dispersions were also determined.
