The article provides an overview of modern data on the main gel bases used in technology semisolid dosage forms. classes gelling substances are characterized. According to data, choice excipient must be justified from point view physicochemical properties active substance, and depends place application gel.

2014 The viscosity of randomly branched polymers has been calculated based on an interpolation formula by Marrinan and Hermans, which contains dependent on certain constants both the so called excluded-volumeeffect and the free-draining limit. Closer inspection of the constants used shows that the first choice is better direct near the gel point and yields a logarithmic divergence of the viscos...

2014 We examine the relaxation behaviour of an entangled cross-linked polymer gel as it approaches the gel point in mean field (Flory-Stockmayer) percolation. The calculation is based on a tube model for the topological interactions in which stress is lost via hierarchical fluctuation of the primitive paths between cross-links. The decay time of a segment is calculated via a recursion relation ...

Abstract Nanocellulose is an emerging material that needs to be well characterized control its performance during industrial applications. Gel point (Ø g ) a convenient parameter commonly used estimate the aspect ratio (AR) of cellulose nano/microfibers (CNFs/CMFs), providing critical information on nanofiber network. However, estimation requires many sedimentation experiments, tedious and time...
