FINAL 02 - Dispersed System Flashcards
Study of flow characteristics
Rheology
System that contains substance distributed and vehicle
Dispersed system
3 classification of dispersion (CFC)
Coarse dispersion, Fine dispersion, Colloids
Particles usually 10-50 um in size (Classifications of dispersion)
Coarse dispersion
Particle size is 0.5-10 um (Classifications of dispersion)
Fine dispersion
Particles are in colloidal range (1 nm-0.5 um) (Classifications of dispersion)
Colloids
A coarse dispersion of finely divided drug particles called suspensoid distributed uniformly throughout a vehicle

Antibacterial oral suspension
Agents that assist in the suspension of the dispersed phase
Suspending agents
Increase the viscosity of water by binding water molecules; examples include acacia, tragacanth, methylcellulose, and carboxymethylcellulose (Types of suspending agents)
Hydrophilic colloids
Silicates that are anionic in aqueous dispersion; exhibit thixotrophy; examples include bentonite, veegum, and kaolin (Types of suspending agents)
