“…Keyphrases Polymers, silicone rubber matrix-determination of dispersed progesterone and cholesterol, differential scanning calorimetry Progesterone-determination of concentration dispersed in silicone rubber matrix, four dispersed polymorphic forms observed, heat of mixing and solubility at drug melting point determined, differential scanning calorimetry Cholesterol-determination of concentration dispersed in silicone rubber matrix, differential scanning calorimetry Silicone rubber-determination of dispersed progesterone and cholesterol, differential scanning calorimetry Polydimethylsiloxane-determination of dispersed progesterone and cholesterol, differential scanning calorimetry Differential scanning calorimetry-analysis, progesterone and cholesterol dispersed in silicone rubber matrix Differential scanning calorimetry has been employed for semiempirical determinations of purities of drug substances (1,2) and for kinetic studies of polymorphic phase transitions (3). In the present study, the technique was used to determine quantitatively the concentration of solid drugs dispersed in a polymeric matrix.…”
