Flow Through Diffusion Cell Method: A Better Approach to Study Drug Release Behavior as Compared to Traditional Dissolution Test Method

Co‐polymeric hydrogels consisting of N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NVP) and acrylic acid (AAc) were synthesized and evaluated for release of a model drug, i.e., vitamin B₁₂. Release studies in simulated gastric fluid (pH 1.2) and intestinal fluid (pH 7.4), at 37°C, showed the hydrogels to be pH sensitive. An in vitro release study by ‘traditional dissolution test’ (TDT) showed that percent drug released from the hydrogel was nearly 8.6±2.1 and 83.2±4.8 in the media of pH 1.2 and 6.8, respectively. However, in order to incorporate in vivo GI conditions such as acidic pH and high water content in the stomach, low water content and the presence of a semi–solid mass in the large intestine, a new test model, called flow through diffusion cell (FTDC) was also used. The two approaches yielded almost different release profiles. The gels were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and FTIR spectroscopy.     

Effect of Chain Length of Polyethylene Glycol and Crosslink Density (NCO/OH) on Properties of Castor Oil Based Polyurethane Elastomers

The equilibrium swelling study of polyurethanes (PU) was carried out in various solvents in order to calculate their solubility parameter. The kinetics of swelling and sorption have also been studied in 1,4‐dioxane at 30°C. The PU was synthesized by reacting a novel polyol (castor oil derivative and epoxy based resin, EpxR) and one of the polyethylene glycols (PEG 200, PEG 400, PEG 600) with different weight compositions, with a toluene diisocyanate (TDI) adduct (derived from toluene diisocyanate and R60 polyol). Different NCO/OH ratio viz. 1, 1.3 and 1.7 were employed in the study. The results were found to vary with the weight composition of polyol components, as well as the crosslink density of the samples. The sorption behavior is also found to vary with the molecular weight of polyethylene glycol employed in the preparations of the polyurethanes. Kinetic studies of swelling revealed that the sorption is anomalous in nature. The diffusion coefficient (D) increased with an increase in the NCO/OH ratio and decreased with an increase in chain length of polyethylene glycol. The sorption coefficient (S) decreased with an increase in crosslink density (NCO/OH) and increased with increasing polyethylene glycol (i.e., PEG 200, PEG 400, and PEG 600) moieties in the polyurethanes. The molecular weight between two crosslink points was calculated using the Flory Rehner equation (24), and hence, the number of chains per unit volume (N) and degree of crosslinking (ν) in all the samples were determined.     

Swelling Characterization of the Superabsorbent Copolymer in the Petroleum-Based Solvent-Water Mixtures

The crosslinked and porous copolymer grains were synthesized by inverse suspension polymerization of acrylamide. The synthesized copolymer was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It was achieved to absorbed 418 g water by 1 g copolymer after 5 min waiting time. Moreover, it was seen that about 99% of water was absorbed by 1 g copolymer in the solvent water mixtures (300 mL solvent–200 mL distilled water) after 2.5 min waiting time. The diffusion coefficients of the copolymer in the solvent-water mixtures were found between 8.87 · 10⁴ and 10.64 · 10⁴ cm²s^?1. Furthermore, the copolymer in distilled water achieved to reach a high value of the diffusion coefficient (13.2 · 10⁴ cm²s^?1).     

Application Properties of Stimuli-Responsive Polyglycerol Hydrogels

Transient state swelling behavior and swelling kinetics of novel stimuli-responsive polyglycerol hydrogels were studied at 293, 310 and 333 K. Depending on temperature, Fickian or anomalous diffusion behavior was observed. Mechanical properties of the hydrogels in the swollen and dry states were investigated and the average molecular weight between crosslinks was calculated. To assess the potential for biodegradation of hydrogels, initial swelling behavior in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution and mass loss profiles as a function of degradation time were investigated over a period of 30 days. All swelling behavior, mechanical properties and degradations were clearly affected by the degree of cross-linking. The hydrophilicity and biodegradability of polyglycerol hydrogels make them suitable for pharmaceutical, biomedical and biotechnological applications. They could potentially serve as a substitute for common fossil-based hydrogels such as poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels.     

Study on Dyeing Properties of Functional Acrylic Fiber

Anti‐mite acrylic fiber is a new type of functional fiber which incorporates a small amount of anti‐mite agent. Basic dye can be used in the dyeing of the functional acrylic fiber. Compared with the dyeing properties of conventional fibers, the dyeing properties of the functional acrylic fiber have new characteristics such as different dyeing temperature, time, amount of leveling agent and pH level due to the rough surface and larger size of micro‐channels in the functional fiber structure that helps basic dye molecules to diffuse into the fiber.     

Diffusion Mechanism of As‐spun Polyacrylonitrile Fiber in a Dimethyl Sulfoxide‐Water Coagulation Bath

In this paper, the diffusion mechanism of as‐spun PAN fiber was investigated in dimethyl sulfoxide‐water by determining the dynamic compositions of the fibers and the diffusion coefficients of solvent and nonsolvent during coagulation. The diffusion process could be divided into two stages. Results showed that the first stage of the diffusion process was the most important during the whole process, which was fundamental to further study on the formation mechanism. Also, compared with wet spinning, the dry‐jet wet spinning method had the advantage of mild coagulating at a high jet‐stretch. At high concentrations, the diffusion coefficients increased and the ratio of solvent diffusion coefficient to nonsolvent diffusion coefficient decreased; an increasing temperature resulted in the increase of both diffusion coefficients with a decrease in their ratios. To some extent, for the PAN‐DMSO‐water system, the more the ratios D_s*/D_n* tended to 1, the more the cross‐section shapes of as‐spun PAN fiber tended to be circular.
