Uncoated caffeine tablets of four different hardnesses were tested for dissolution rate by the Sartorius (S.S. method) and by the rotating basket method of the U.S.P. XVIII. In both methods the dissolution rate decreased with increasing hardness, and the rate obtained with the S.S. method was always less than that by the U.S.P. method. This result cannot be explained as being due only to the difference in the volume of dissolution medium. Also it was difficult to ensure that the characteristic changes in the process of dissolution paralleled the curves obtained from a plot of % caffeine dissolved vs time. Accordingly, the dissolution rate constants were calculated from the slope of each straight line in a plot of ln W infinity/(W infinity --W) vs time.

Improving the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs presents a significant challenge in pharmaceutical development. Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) have garnered substantial attention for their capability to augment the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs, thereby markedly enhancing their bioavailability. ASDs, characterized by a metastable equilibrium where the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is molecularly dispersed, offer enhanced absorption compared to crystalline forms.

Oral fast dissolving films represent a novel dosage form for probiotics. To reduce the dependence of film preparation on synthetic materials, a polysaccharide-based oral fast dissolving nanofilm for probiotics was fabricated through pullulan (PUL) electrospinning. An electrospinnability map of PUL with varying physical properties was developed, identifying a molecular weight of 200 kDa and a concentration of 20 % as suitable conditions for achieving favorable fiber morphology.

Within the context of polypropylene recycling by dissolution, the potential degradation of polypropylene in solution has been investigated using in situ NIR and Raman spectroscopy. Pure polypropylene, completely free of additives, and commercial polypropylene, low in additives, are degraded on purpose under different conditions. Genetic algorithm combined with partial least squares (GA-PLS) models have been built based on near-infrared (NIR) spectra, and partial least squares (PLS) models based on Raman spectra, to predict the mass average molar mass and the chain-scission rate, respectively, during the degradation process.

The phenomenon of solid dissolution into a solution constitutes a fundamental aspect in both natural and industrial contexts. Nevertheless, its intricate nature at the microscale poses a significant challenge for precise quantitative characterization at a foundational level. In this work, the influence across three specific cleavage planes, namely (100), (111), and (110) on the dissolution kinetics of fluorite in aqueous environments was examined from both experimental and theoretical standpoints.

The objective of this study is to address the unanswered question whether sustained supersaturation generated from amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) formulated in insoluble hydrogel carriers will result in better bioavailability over that of spring-and-parachute type of dissolution profiles of ASDs formulated in water-soluble carriers. This was achieved by investigating the effects of supersaturation generation rates and doses on the extent of absorption (i.e.
