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 […]
WETTING OF PARTICLES: The initial dispersion of an insoluble powder in a vehicle is an important step in the manufacturing process and requires further consideration. owders sometimes are added to the vehicle, particularly in large-scale operations, by dusting on the […]
Electric double layer: Particles dispersed in a liquid medium may become charged in one of two main ways. Ionic species present in a solution may be adsorbed at the surface or, alternatively, charges on the surface may arise due to […]
