Q

What are colloids?

A
  • A colloid or colloidal dispersion = a two-phase system of matter; a type of mixture intermediate between homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures (size < 1 μm)
  • In a phase colloid, small droplets or particles of one substance (the disperse phase) are dispersed in another (the continuous phase)
    In a molecular colloid, macromolecules are dispersed in a continuous phase

Q

Brownian motion

A
  • Under a microscope, the molecules of the liquid are in motion
  • Because of the motion, the larger particles of the colloid are being constantly bombarded by the smaller particles of the liquid
  • This motion and bombardment keeps the colloid particles suspended

Q

Adsorption

A
  • A chemical is associated to the surface of a second agent
    Often reversible
  • Can lead to conformational changes
  • Manipulate physicochemical properties
  • Examples:
    Adsorption of gases on solids
    Adsorption of surfactants, polymers or proteins

17
Q

Lyophobic

A

Solvent hating (hydrophobic when the solvent is water)

18
Q

Lyophilic

A

Solvent liking (hydrophilic when the solvent is water)

19
Q

Properties of lyophobic

A
  • Inorganic molecules or particles (insoluble)
  • Little or no interaction between particles and dispersion medium
  • Do not disperse spontaneously, special procedures needed
  • No effect on viscosity unsolvated
  • Electrolytes: low concentrations may stabilise,
    higher concentration causes instability
20
Q

Example of lyophobic colloids

A

Calcium phosphate

21
Q

Lyophilic

A
  • Large organic molecules in colloidal size range
    Solvated by medium (H2O – this is hydrated)
  • Disperse spontaneously
  • Increase viscosity, forming gels at higher concentrations
  • Electrolytes: generally stable but “salted out” by very high concentrations due to desolvation
22
Q

Examples of Lyophilic colloids

A
  • Starch
  • Gelatin
23
Q

Particles in colloids, how big?

A

Less than 1 um (micrometer)

24
Q

Colloids - Sol

A

a colloidal suspension of small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium

25
Q

Colloids - Gel

A
  • a colloidal suspension in which the liquid medium has become viscous enough to behave more or less as a solid
  • Solid particles will arrange themselves into a 3D structure within the liquid solvent, giving the solution a rigid, definite shape as in a jelly
26
Q

Examples of Gels

A
  1. Nail polish
  2. Styling gel
  3. Eye gel
27
Q

Examples of PHARMACEUTICAL Gels

A
  1. Aloe Vera gel
  2. ‘Burncare’ - relieve burn gel
  3. Ibuprofen Gel
28
Q

Gels: what phase?

A
  1. Lyophobic - two-phase system
  2. Lyophilic - one-phase system
29
Q

Lyophobic - two-phase system

A

a) Flocculated particles in a two-phase gel structure
b) Network of elongated particles or rods forming a gel structure

30
Q

Lyophilic - one-phase system

A

c) Matted fibres as found in soap gels
d) Crystalline and amorphous regions in a gel of carboxymethylcellulose

31
Q

Gels formulation:

A

Gelling agents:
-natural gums (tragacanth, carrageen, pectin, agar, alginic acid)
-Semisynthetic material
-synthetic
Humectants; prevent drying out (glycerol, sorbitol)
-preservatives
-water

32
Q

Whats are foams?

A

Gases dispersed in a liquid/solid
- formed by trapping many gas bubbled

33
Q

What are foams normally used for?

A

Delivery of enemas and topical drugs

34
Q

Why are foams sometimes troublesome in manufacture?

A

Produced as UNWANTED by-products
(if foam forms on shaking)

35
Q

What instructions/directions are common when using foams?

A

Shake well before use

36
Q

Defoamers/ antifoaming agents:

A

Foam breakers and preventers
- Act as small droplets forming in the foam lamellae
- Displaces surfactants (which stabilise the thin films) at the air-water interface

37
Q

Example of a defoamer

A

Silicone fluids

38
Q

Emulsions

A

A ‘pseudo-stable’ dispersion of at least two immiscible liquids, one of which is dispersed throughout the other in the form of fine droplets (generally oil and water) stabilised by the presence of an emulsifying agent (known as emulsifier

39
Q

Suspensions (not a colloid)

A

Course dispersion in which insoluble particles, generally > 1 μm, are dispersed within a liquid medium which is usually aqueous

40
Q

Directions to use suspensions

A
  1. Settle out
  2. Shake to stay suspended
41
Q

solution v colloid v suspension

A

Consider properties:
1. particle size
2. appearance
3. separation
4. filtration
5. effect of light
6. visibility

42
Q

Sizes

A

Solution : less than 10^-9
Colloid : less than 10^-6
