Polymer-Stabilized Emulsions: Influence of Emulsion Components on Rheological Properties and Droplet Size

Emulgel based topical delivery system for loratadine

“…Since, our study focused on the effect of formulation variables, the findings of average globule size determination may be correlated with the surfactants used in the formulations. As given in literature, incorporation of non-ionic surfactants tends to lower the droplet size in the emulsions stabilized by acrylate polymers [22].…”

“…It was found that emulgel N5 had the least average globule size, followed by S10 and C10. It has been reported that lower globule size of emulsion phase results in better spreadability of the product [22]. Hence, spreadability of the prepared emulgels decreased in the order: N5>S10>C10.…”

“…Formulations C10 and S10 contain twice the amount of alcohol as compared to N5. Moreover, it has also been mentioned in the literature that non-ionic surfactants increase the yield stress and viscosity of the emulsions stabilized using acrylates [22].…”

“…These values were well within the pH range of the human skin. This was achieved by the incorporation of triethanolamine [21,22].…”
