Abstract
Spread monolayers of two new skin permeation enhancers, MacroDerm A an d MacroDerm L were investigated at the water/air interface as a functi on of temperature and of subphase composition. Both components did not seem to be markedly affected by changes in ionic strength and by the presence of metal ions in the subphase. The two-dimensional binary sys tem MacroDerm A - MacroDerm L was also studied at the water/air interf ace at 298 K on pure water subphase. The behavior of surface areas, su rface compressional moduli and collapse pressure as a function of mola r ratios of components shows that MacroDerm A and MacroDerm L are misc ible.
