Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

713
Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the...

The Fluid Mosaic Model

175.9K
The fluid mosaic model was first proposed as a visual representation of research observations. The model comprises the composition and dynamics of membranes and serves as a foundation for future membrane-related studies. The model depicts the structure of the plasma membrane with a variety of components, which include phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. These integral molecules are loosely bound, defining the cell’s border and providing fluidity for optimal function.

Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model

1.5K
Dissolution, the process by which drug particles dissolve in a solvent, is explained by the diffusion layer model, a theoretical framework that simulates the absorption of oral drugs and allows us to analyze experimental data.
This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...

Area of Science:

  • Soft Matter Physics
  • Colloid Science
  • Polymer Chemistry

Background:

  • Ionic microgels swell in good solvents due to electrostatic and elastic forces.
  • Particle crowding induces microion redistribution, leading to microgel deswelling.
  • Deswelling significantly impacts inter-particle interactions and overall suspension properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To theoretically investigate the effects of crowding on ionic microgel suspensions.
  • To model thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic properties of deswelling microgels.
  • To develop a bottom-up approach for predicting crowded microgel suspension behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Modeling microgels as permeable colloidal spheres with fixed charge.
  • Employing Flory-Rehner theory for elastic and solvent-interaction free energies.
  • Utilizing mean-field methods to calculate crowding-dependent microgel radius and net charge.
  • Calculating effective pair potentials, osmotic pressure, and pair distribution functions.
  • Incorporating hydrodynamic interactions for dynamic property calculations.

Main Results:

  • Deswelling mildly enhances self- and collective diffusion.
  • Osmotic pressure increases with deswelling.
  • Suspension viscosity decreases, while the crystallization point shifts to higher concentrations.
  • Crowding effects on thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic properties were quantified.

Conclusions:

  • Crowding-induced deswelling is a key factor governing ionic microgel suspension behavior.
  • The theoretical framework provides efficient computation of suspension properties from single-particle characteristics.
  • This study offers insights into designing and controlling soft matter systems.
