A better recognition of the properties of materials is of great interest in pharmaceutical technology, and especially in the development of modern solid dosage forms. As an example, a knowledge of the force of adhesion of a mucoadhesive preparation is of considerable importance. The aim of the present study was to develop the calibrated equipment suitable for determination of the force of adhesion and for following the process of film deformation during testing. A new instrument is introduced, and the results are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
