powders -lecture Flashcards
gas state
- vancancies
- motion
characteristic properties
gas molecules move among vacancies
- vigorous, chaotic, rapid motion and collide
diffusion and partial pressure are the characterisitc traits
liquid
- vancancy
- motion
- characterisitc properties
- vacancies move among molecules ( vacancies move around )
mobile molecules without orientation nor periodicity
- isotropic ( randomly distributed )
diffusion, surface tension and rheology
solid
movement
characteristic properties
well organised and immobile
molecules have orientation and periodicity ( repeating )
chracteristic properties - melting point and diffraction
describe the 2 mesophases between solid and liquid
and draw
- smectic - soap-like/grease-like
mobile 2d , rotate in 1 axis
orientated & arranged in equispaced planes
no periodicity within the planes
2.nematic - thread-like
mobile 3d, rotate 1 axis
orientated with no periodicity
move up and down and somewhat organised
what are the properties of mesophases
organic
elongated or rectilinear
rigid
strong dipoles and easily polarisable groups
2 grps of mesophases depending on the solvent
- thermotropic ( solvent-free) - temp sensi
2. lyotropic ( with solvent ) - solvent sensitive
what are the uses of mesophases
- temp sensor
- display - liquid crystals provide colours
- stabilisation fo emulsions by inc viscosity
- improve solubilisation of drugs
how does mesophase improve stabilisation of emulsion
inc viscosity
bc there is some crystal order which can help to trap molecules and stabilise it
characteristics of solids
- least amt of kinetic energy
- structurally rigid to resist deformative forces,
bc short int distance, dense and fixed - organised as crystalline or amorphous solids
main physical properties of solids
physical form eg size, shape, flow density mp heat capacity porosity hardness deformability optical properties wettability moisture interaction solubility
liquids vs solids
- shape
- movement
- traits
liquid
- no set shape , takes shape of container
- flow w relative ease
- move freely unrestricted
for solids
- definite mass, volume and shape
- molecules relatively immobile and they oscillate about their mean positions
- mechanically strong and incompressible
oral solid dosage forms
- multiparticulate forms
powders - crystals, nanoparticles, microcapsules, microspheres
granules/agglomerates
pellets spheroids, beads
adv of solid dosage form
- better chem stability shelf life 2-3 yrs
- dry - dosent promote microbial growth
- lower bulk volume
- ease of handling, convenience
- flexible, single or multiple components
what is a
crystal form
- ordered structure w arranged atoms, ions or molecules forming symmetrical and repeating patterns in 3d
basic repeating pattern of a crystal form is called
” unit cell “ of the structure
