In this study, nanostructured microparticles was developed with polycaprolactone (PCL), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) and nanoparticles of the commercial sodium clay NT-25® by using the spray drying technique. The systems obtained were characte- rized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Dynamic Laser Light Scattering (DLS) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The NMR 13C and FTIR...

Abstract Matrix tablets prepared using chitosan-clay microparticles with various molecular weights (MWs) of chitosan were characterized in terms of hardness, swelling, and drug release. Moreover, the effect of magnesium stearate on the physical properties and drug release of the tablets was also examined. Montmorillonite clay, magnesium aluminum silicate (MAS), was used in this study. The results showed that chitosan-MAS microparticles with different chitosan MWs prepared by spray drying had...
