Suspensions

There are three general methods of producing colloidally stable dispersions: Adsorption of a smaller hydrophilic and lypophilic colloid on l...

Flocculation: It refers to the formation of a loose aggregation of discrete particles held together in a net-work like structure either by ...

The vehicle is said to behave like a “false body” which is able to maintain the suspended particle in a state of more or less permanent susp...

Vehicles that exhibit the unusual property of Bingham-type plastic rheological flow are distinguished by the need to overcome a finite yield...

Thixotropic flow is defined as a reversible, time dependent, isothermal gel-sol transition. Thixotropic systems exhibit easy flow at relativ...

During the preparation of physically stable pharmaceutical suspensions, a number of formulation components are employed to help keep the sol...

The degree of wettability depends on the affinity of drugs for water and whether the solids are hydrophilic of hydrophobic. Hydrophilic soli...
