Application Of Electrostatic Dry Powder Coating Technology On Hard Capsules, Zhehao Jing
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This project applied electrostatic dry powder coating technology on hard gelatin and HPMC capsules using Eudragit® RS/RL and Eudragit® L 100-55 to achieve sustained release and enteric release respectively. Dry powder coating eliminated the difficulties associated with conventional liquid coating processes such as poor adhesion and stickiness for capsules. Additionally, through optimizing sprayed plasticizer volume, the coating powders deposited on the capsules could be efficiently maximized. The weight gain of coating and the formulation of coating materials were important parameters which controlled the release profiles of coated capsules. The release mechanism of coated capsules was quite different from …
