methods in determining surface tension

-wilhelmy plate or ring method
-du nuoy method or tensiometric method
-sessile drop method
-capillary rise method
-bubble pressure method
-drop weight method

New cards
2

surface tension

the force which the surface of one side of a line, one cm in length, pulls or attracts the surface of the other side of a line

New cards
3

surface active agents

-surfactants
-amphipathic compound
-colloidal substance

New cards
4

surface active agents

substance whose molecules or ions move on their accord to the interface when dispersed in a liquid thereby reducing surface tension

New cards
5

nonionic surfactants

spans and tweens

New cards
6

anionic surfactants

"ate"
-sodium lauryl sulfate
-sodium dodesyl sulfate

New cards
7

cationic surfactants

-"onium"/ "inium"
-benzalkonium chloride
-quats

New cards
8

amphoteric surfactants

lecithin

New cards
9

Griffin Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance System

-applicable for nonionic surfactants only

New cards
10

HLB <10 (1-9)

-lipophilic
-suitable for making w/o emulsions
-spans

New cards
11

HLB >10 (11-20)

-hydrophilic
-suitable for making o/w emulsions
-tweens

New cards
12

Interfacial tension

study of interfacial phenomena concerned with the properties of molecules situated at or near the boundary between 2 immiscible phases called the interface of the interfacial region

New cards
13

cohesive force

force of attraction between molecules of same phases

New cards
14

adhesive force

force of attraction between molecules of different phases

New cards
15

surface tension

the property of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force due to cohesive nature of the water molecules

New cards
16

surface tension

the tendency of liquid surface to shrink into minimal surface area possible

New cards
17

Hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB)

-system of hydrophile-lipophile classification
-used to classify nonionic surfactants

New cards
18

HLB less than 9- lipophilic surfactants

-forms w/o emulsions

New cards
19

HLB >6

oil soluble

New cards
20

HLB 1-3

antifoaming

New cards
21

lipophilic surfactants example

-spans
-sorbitan
-esters

New cards
22

HLB more than 9 - hydrophilic surfactants

forms w/o emulsions

New cards
23

hydrophilic surfactants example

tweens, polyoxyethylene derivatives of spans

New cards
24

1-3

antifoaming agents

New cards
25

4-6

w/o emulsifying agt

New cards
26

7-9

wetting and spreading agt

New cards
27

8-18

o/w emulsifying agt

New cards
28

13-15

detergents

New cards
29

16-18

solubilizing agts

New cards
30

w/o

cholesterol and its derivatives

New cards
31

o/w

high mw monohydrate alcohols (cetyl, stearyl, glycerin)

New cards
32

wilhelmy plate method or ring method

quick and easy to operate

New cards
33

du nuoy method or tensiometric method

satisfactory

New cards
34

sessile drop method

vg

New cards
35

capillary rise method

vg

New cards
36

buddle pressure method

vg

New cards
37

drop wt method

suitable

New cards
38

drop wt method

most common method used for the surface tension determination

New cards
39

drop wt method
at equilibrium,

the upward force is equal to the downward force

New cards
40

drop wt method equipment

stalagmometer

New cards
41

drop wt method

several drops of liquid leaked out ot the stalagmometer are weighed

New cards
42

high no of drops

= low density and surface tension= high surface area

New cards
43

emulsifiers

a surfactant which adsorbs at the newly formed oil-water interface during emulsion preparation

New cards
44

emulsifiers

protects the newly formed droplets against immediate recoalescence

New cards
45

pharmaceutical uses of emulsifiers

major constituents of pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food semisolid preparation many of which are emulsifiers

New cards
46

topical dosage forms

spreading coefficient- lotions, creams, sunscreen and cosmetics

New cards
47

solid dosage forms

-wetting agents to enhance drug dissolution rate
-lubricants, anti-adherents, glidants to reduce friction

New cards
48

liquid dosage forms

solubilizing agents to enhance drug dissolution
