Q

what are cosurfactants used for?

A

help to achieve low interfacial tension

23
Q

what are co surfactants usually made from?

A

short chain alcohols

24
Q

what are the cosurfactant and surfactant mixture able to form?

A

an efficiently packed film, covering the whole droplet

25
Q

what are micelles?

A

colloidal spherical nanoparticles that can be made from ionic or nonionic surfactants.

26
Q

how are micelles formed?

A

60 random positioned molecules of polysorbate 80 first ggregate into small clusters which come together to form a micelle.
highly orded water molecules form cages around the hydrophobic alkyl chains in a surfactant, lipid portions at the edge of the cluster force orders the water formation, all hydrophobic groups are grouped for a water containing micelle to form

27
Q

what is the critical micelle concentration (cmc)?

A

the surfactant concentration at and above which micelles are formed

28
Q

what are suspending agents used for?

A

reduce the rate of settling of suspended active ingredients

29
Q

what is the stokes-einsten equation used for?

A

diffusion coefficient D

30
Q

what is ficks first law used for?

A

brownian motion and diffusion
when particles diffuse from high conc to low conc

31
Q

what is sedimentation (V) used for?

A

to see the rate of sedimentation from gravity and drag

32
Q

what are the ffactors influencing rheology of suspensions?

A

high volume fractions
particle size
distribution
particle shape
electrostatic interactions
steric hinderance

33
Q

how can we prevent sedimentation?

A

smaller particles
decrease density difference
increase viscosity in continuous phase

34
Q

what are the two layers in the electrical double layer of ions?

A

stern laer
diffuse layer (zeta potential)

35
Q

what are the factors affecting zeta potential?

A

ion concentration and pH of continuous phase

36
Q

what is the DVLO graph used for?

A

quantative approach to the stability of lyophobic systems

37
Q

what is the y and x axis of the DVLO graph?

A

x is distance
y is attraction

38
Q

why do you want Vmax to be as big as possible?

A

to reduce frequency of particles coming too close together

39
Q

what does high energy repulsion mean?

A

particles will remain dispersed

40
Q

what is the difference between particles of suspensions and emulsions?

A

suspensions have macro particles
emulsions have microparticles

41
Q

what is phase inversion?

A

when oil in water particles come together and the charge of the droplets are reduced then once they are incontact the droplets re-align forming water in oil droplets

42
Q

what is creaming due to?

A

density difference between oil and water
the oil droplets tend to concentrate at the top of the emulsion

43
Q

what is flocculation?

A

when two or more emulsion droplets aggregate withot losing their individual identity

44
Q

when does coalescence occur?

A

when two or more droplets collide and form one larger droplet and is irreversible

45
Q

what is otwald ripening?

A

when collisions between two droplets may cause one bigger and one smaller droplet

46
Q

what is entropic effect (steric)?

A

when two particles come into close contact, the polymer chains tart to overlap, which leads to a loss in the freedom of the polymer chains, which eventually forces the droplets apart again

47
Q

what are osmotic forces (solvation)?

A

when two particles come into close contact the polymer chains start to overlap, which induces an osmotic gradient, which leads to water entering the concentrated region in attempt to dilute it and in tur forces the particles apart again

48
Q

what are the four types of forces?

A

van der waals, electrostatic repulsion, steric and solvation

49
Q

what are the four reactions of chemical degradation?

A

hydrolysis
oxidation
photodegradation
polymerisation

50
Q

what are the stages of kinetics in chemical degradation?

A

zero
first
pseudo zero
second
pseudo first

51
Q

what is stability?

A

the capacity of a product to remain within specifications to ensure potency, quality or potency

52
Q

what other types of degradation are there, other than chemical degradation?

A

physical and microbial degradation

53
Q

what is the allowable degradation percentage after 5 years?

A

5%
