Suspensions: The physical chemist defines the word “suspension” as a two phase system consisting of an undissolved or immiscible material dispersed in a vehicle (i.e., solid, liquid, or gas). The particles of the dispersed phase vary widely in size, from […]
A Pharmaceutical suspension is a coarse dispersion in which internal phase (therapeutically active ingredient)is dispersed uniformly throughout the external phase. The internal phase consisting of insoluble solid particles having a range of size(0.5 to 5 microns) which is maintained uniformly […]
SEDIMENTATION OF FLOCCULATED PARTICLES: When sedimentation is studied in flocculated systems, it is observed that the flocs tend to fall together, producing a distinct boundary between the sediment and the supernatant liquid. The liquid above the sediment is clear because even […]
