A Review on Aqueous Film Coating Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
Until about 1950, sugar coating was the first choice as coating agent for pharmaceutical preparation and much time & efforts were spent in perfecting the sugar coating techniques. Nobody ever was concerned about the problems like material cost, toxic effect due to coating or pollution etc. because the solvent used was always water. However, sugar coating technique was time consuming, affecting the productivity & the quality of finished was dependent on the skills of operator.

The Potential of Nanoparticles for Upgrading Thin Film Nanocomposite Membranes – A Review
Over the past decade, many applications were intended for filtration by membrane technology especially the thin film composite (TFC) membranes. In advanced developments of thin film membranes, an attempt was made to spread a new generation of membranes called thin film nano composite (TFN) membranes. However, in the last generation of TFNs, an ultrathin selective film of nanoparticles is coated...
متن کاملSolventless coating for Tablets: An alternative to conventional coating technique
There are many ways to coat tablets. Coatings are a very important part in the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage form to achieve excellent formulation quality (e.g., color, texture, mouth feel, and taste masking), physical and chemical protection for the drugs in the dosage forms, and modification of drug release characteristics. Most film coatings are applied as aqueous or organic-based pol...
