Synthesis and physicochemical evaluation of a new carrier based on an interpolyelectrolyte complex formed by Eudragit® EPO and Carbomer 940
The formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) between Eudragit® EPO (EPO) and Carbomer 940 (C940) was investigated with a view to their use in peroral controlled-release drug delivery systems. The structure of the synthesized products was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy and MT—DSC meth...

Summary: | The formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) between Eudragit® EPO (EPO) and Carbomer 940 (C940) was investigated with a view to their use in peroral controlled-release drug delivery systems. The structure of the synthesized products was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy and MT—DSC methods, which indicated that the synthesized product can be considered to be an IPEC stabilized by a cooperative system of ionic bonds. Based on results of capillary viscosimetry and elemental analysis, the IPEC prepared at pH 4.0 has a characteristic composition with a C940:EPO mole ratio of 1.75:1. |
