Based on Reaction mode of Polymerization :a) Addition Polymers :Here, the monomer molecules bond to each other without the loss of any other atoms.e.g. Alkene monomersb) Condensation Polymers :Usually

7、two different monomers combine with the loss of small molecule, usually water. e.g. polyesters, polyamides.,07/09/2010,KLE COP, Nipani,8,D. Based on Interaction with Water :a) Non biodegradable Hydrophobic Polymers :These are inert compounds and are eliminated intact from the site of application.e.g

8、. polyethylene vinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride.b) Hydrogels :They swell but do not dissolve when brought in contact with water.e.g. polyvinyl pyrrolidonec) Soluble Polymers :These are moderate mol. wt uncross-linked polymers that dissolve in water.e.g. HPMC, PEGd) Biodegradable Polymers :These slo

Osmotically Controlled Drug Delivery System,Drug is coated

18、 with semi-permeable polymere.g. Cellulose acetate. Water generates osmotic pressure gradient by permeating through semi-permeable membrane. Due to that drug pumps out of delivery orifice over a prolonged time at a defined rate.,07/09/2010,KLE COP, Nipani,19,C. Biodegradable System,Mainly used for p

19、arenteral controlled drug delivery. Drug is encapsulated in biodegradable microcapsules which are suspended in aqueous / oleaginous medium and injected subcutaneously or intra-muscularly. Polymers used for microcapsules are : Gelatin, dextran, polylactate, lactide glycolide copolymer. The release of

20、 drug is controlled by the rate of bio-degradation of polymer.,07/09/2010,KLE COP, Nipani,20,D. Matrix Systems,Drug particles are enclosed in a matrix environment formed by cross-linking of polymer chains. For the drug to get released, it has to be first dissolved in surrounding polymer and then dif

21、fuse through the polymer structure. Polymers used are :polyalkyls, polyvinyls, etc. Example Nitroglycerine releasing system for prophylaxis or treatment of angina pectoris.,07/09/2010,KLE COP, Nipani,21,E. Swelling Controlled Release Systems,Drug is enclosed in a collapsible drug compartment inside

22、a rigid, shape-retaining housing. The shape between external housing and drug compartment contains laminate of swellable, hydrophillic cross-linked polymer.e.g. polyhydroxyalkyl methacrylate. This polymer absorbs GI fluid through annular openings in the bottom of housing.,07/09/2010,KLE COP, Nipani,
