  Application of Natural and Synthetic Polymer-Based Disintegrants in the Design of Fast Dissolving Cefuroxime Axetil Tablet Composites

  By Mallikarjuna BP, G. Swarna Latha, Durga Ganesh Jami, G. Uma Rani, Prasanthi Samathoti

  Abstract: The current paper examines how natural and synthetic polymer-based disintegrants can be used to design fast-soluble types of tablet composites. A model drug was chosen and tablets were prepared by the direct compression method using different polymeric excipients, such as guar gum, locust bean gum, sodium starch glycolate (SSG) and cross povidone. Eight formulations were prepared and tested on the basis of critical material and performance characteristics including thickness, hardness, …

  Advances in Nanocellulose-Enhanced Polymers and Composites: Structure, Performance, and Applications

  By Prasanthi Samathoti, Sindhu Chenna, Bhavani Mudamala, Kalyani Chambeti, Shweta Chandra, Harish Chakka, Reddy Subramanya Busineni, B. Anushna

  Abstract: The most common biopolymer is cellulose, which can be converted into nanocellulose (NC) the sustainable nanomaterial possessing the outstanding characteristic of biodegradability, renewability, low density, high aspect ratio, and excellent mechanical performance. Such distinctive features make NC a promising filler in polymer and composite systems. Recent developments in the preparation of nanocellulose using various natural and artificial sources have facilitated scalable production processes that have less energy requirements and are …
