Abstract:
The application and future development of some rheological techniques in pharmaceutical formulation are reviewed. The state of the subject is illustrated with examples drawn from the formulation of injections, creams and oil-in-water emulsions. A theoretical approach to the assessment of the rate of interfacial film formation is discussed in connection with emulsion stability. Finally, some speculation is made on the use of ultralow shear rate methods for the detection of polymer-drug interactions.
