Characteristics of interpolyelectrolyte complexes of Eudragit E100 with Eudragit L100

With a view to the application in oral controlled drug delivery systems, the formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) between Eudragit E100 (EE) and Eudragit L100 (EL) was investigated, using turbidimetry, solution viscosity measurements and elementary analysis. The structure of the synthesized IPEC was investigated by using FT-IR spectroscopy. The binding ratio of a unit molecule of EL with EE was found to be approximately 1:1 in pH 6.0. Based on the results of elementary analysis, and FT-IR, the binding ratio of each component in the solid complexes was very close to that observed in turbidity and viscosity measurements and indicate that the synthesized products can be considered as IPEC. Due to the structure of the IPEC, two maxima were observed in the swelling behaviour as a function of pH. The release of the model drug ibuprofen was significantly retarded from tablets made up of the IPEC. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

High-throughput ab-initio calculations: materials for energy storage

At present time, sodium-based batteries are considered as the most viable candidates for replacing widespread lithium batteries. Al- and K-based materials (among others) are also envisaged as prospective compounds for the next generation of solid state batteries (SSB). We are calculated the possible migration pathways for a number of Na-, Al-,K- and Li-conductive materials and selected new perspective compounds from ICSD database using ToposPro package, specially designed for study of super-ionic conductors. For the most promising compounds a careful analysis using DFT calculations was performed. The combined study with both topological and DFT approaches is crucial to gain insight into the main features of ionic conductivity

Structural transformations during swelling of polycomplex matrices based on countercharged (meth)acrylate copolymers (Eudragit® EPO/Eudragit® L 100-55)

With a view to the application in oral controlled drug delivery systems (DDS), the design of new interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs) between countercharged types of Eudragit® EPO (EPO) and Eudragit® L 100-55 (L100-55) was investigated. The formation and composition of four new IPECs between EPO and L100-55 were established by elementary analysis. The structure of the synthesized IPEC was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy and modulated-temperature differential scanning calorimetry. The binding ratio of a unit molecule of EPO with L100-55 was found to range between 1:2.75 (Z = 0.36) and 1:0.55 (Z = 1.81) while increasing the pH value from 5.5 to 7.0. As a result of electrostatic interaction between the copolymer chains, the glass transition temperature of the IPEC increased significantly. A large pH-sensitive swelling behavior was observed for different structures of the IPECs. The outcome of swelling and diclofenac sodium release from the polycomplex matrices confirm that they have great potential to be used as a controlled DDS in specified regions of gastrointestinal tract. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association
