purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the water soluble polymers viz hpmc, pvp and peg 6000 on aqueous solubility and complexation abilities of felodipine with or without presence of β-cyclodextrin (βcd) and hpβcd by phase solubility studies. the data revealed the initial increase in drug solubility followed by plateau in the presence of relatively low polymer c...

Recent developments in water-soluble hydrophobically associating polymers are examined with particular emphasis on their use for oilfield applications. These polymers have potential for use in EOR, acidizing, drilling fluids, completion fluids and profile modification. They have also been reported to selectively reduce water permeability in sandstones, and have been used as drag-reducing agents...

Water-soluble polymers have been used for a wide variety of applications due to their versatility. Watersoluble polymers are found in many different industries including agriculture, food, plastics, pulp and paper, mining, petroleum, textiles, and waste water treatment. Often, they are used as both processing aids and components of final products. Addition of water-soluble polymers to industria...

Water-soluble hydrophobically associating polymers are examined with particular emphasis on their rheology for oilfield applications. The incorporation of a small amount (less than 1 mol%) of hydrophobic groups into the polymer backbone of a water-soluble polymer dramatically alters the rheological properties of the resulting material. Associating polymers have potential for use in mobility con...

This manuscript describes the use of water-soluble polymers for use as sacrificial layers in surface micromachining. Water-soluble polymers have two attractive characteristics for this application: 1) They can be deposited conveniently by spin-coating, and the solvent removed at a low temperature (95-150 degrees C), and 2) the resulting layer can be dissolved in water; no corrosive reagents or ...
