摘要:
This invention describes the coprecipitation of nanoparticulate pharmaceutical agent dispersion via a process that comprises the dissolution of the said pharmaceutical agent in combination with a crystal growth modifier (CGM) in an alkaline solution and then neutralizing the said solution with an acid in the presence of suitable surface-modifying surface-active agent or agents to form a fine particle dispersion of the said pharmaceutical agent, followed by steps of diafiltration clean-up of the dispersion and then concentration of it to a desired level. This process of dispersion preparation leads to microcrystalline particles of Z-average diameters smaller than 400 nm as measured by photon correlation spectroscopy. Various modification of precipitation schemes are described, many of which are suitable for large-scale manufacture of these agent dispersions. It has been discovered that coprecipitation with CGM leads to smaller particle size compared to a case where precipitation is carried out using the pharmaceutical agent alone. Thus, this dispersion of instant invention is expected to have greater bioavailability. The CGM compound is a compound that has at least about 75% of its chemical structure identical to that of the pharmaceutical agent.

摘要:
This invention relates to a full-color hard copy imaging system and a process, where a multiply photosensitive donor sheet, comprising clear polymeric or an opaque paper base, coated sequentially with a first layer of patches of a cyan, a magenta, and a yellow dye, that are thermally diffusible, with a second layer also coated sequentially with patches of a red light sensitive, a green light sensitive or a blue light sensitive, negative or a positive working photoresist layer, in such a manner that each of the colored dye patches are in registry with their complementary color sensitive photoresist patches, is exposed with white light sequentially, three times in registry on the three primary light sensitive patches, through a multicolor image (a positive transparency or a photographic negative), to produce crosslinks, image wise, in the exposed areas in the case of the negative resist system, or to uncrosslink the resist structure image wise in the exposed areas for a positive working resist system. In the second step, the first color patch is laminated on to a receiver sheet that is composed of a clear plastic layer in which the chromogenic dyes are soluble, with or without a white reflective backing and the first color image is transferred to the receiver sheet by thermal evaporation. The image is formed due to the hindrance of diffusion of dye in the crosslinked regions of the resist layer in the donor sheet. In subsequent consecutive steps the two remaining color images are transferred, by similar thermal process in registry on to the receiver sheet, thereby forming a full-color image of the original image.
摘要:
It has been shown by Photon Correlation Spectroscopy than when additional hardener is added to below saturation gel-grafted polymer particles, the gel layer shrinks due to hardening, as there is no free gel left in solution. In films, such case-hardened gelatin-grafted soft polymer particles can act as highly elastic stress absorbing fillers. This is because the dry case-hardened shell is expected to form a thin hard shell around the soft polymer particles. It is shown that gelatin-grafted soft polymer particles and case-hardened gelatin-grafted soft polymer particles, incorporated in the emulsion layers of pressure sensitive photographic products, produce coatings with highly reduced pressure sensitivity without any developability or delamination concerns. In this invention the case-hardened gelatin-grafted polymer particles are preferred over the simple gelatin-grafted material. The core polymer particle can have diameters anywhere between 10 to 10.sup.8 nm with a monolayer of gelatin shell that is chemically bonded to its surface and the gelatin shell is further cross-linked with each other to hydrated thicknesses of between 5 to 20 nm.
摘要:
The invention is performed by providing a first flow of water and surfactant, a second flow comprising solvent, base and photographic material, and mixing said first and second streams and either simultaneously or immediately following thereof neutralizing said streams to prevent hydrolysis of a hydrolyzable surfactant and/or premature precipitation of particles before neutralization. The streams then may be immediately treated for formation into photographic materials. In a preferred method the first and second stream may be brought together immediately prior to a mixer with addition of acid directly into the mixer to neutralize the dispersion of fine particles.

The invention describes silver halide packet emulsion grains or crystals that are conventionally precipitated using gelatin of a given isoelectric pH, surrounded by a layer of gelatin-grafted-polymer particles wherein the grafted gelatin has a different isoelectric pH and the said gelatin-grafted-polymer particles are optionally chemically bonded to the gelatin surrounding the silver halide microcrystals. Such packet emulsions can form the basis for a mixed-packet color photographic system.

This invention describes the preparation of nanoparticulate pharmaceutical agent dispersion via a process that comprises the dissolution of the said pharmaceutical agent in an alkaline solution and then neutralizing the said solution with an acid in the presence of suitable surface-modifying, surface-active agents to form a fine particle dispersion of the said pharmaceutical agent. A combination of surface active surface modifying agents comprising a nonionic surface active substance and an anionic surface active material having a chemical structure which is at least on a molecular basis 75% similar to the pharmaceutical agent is used. This process is preferably followed by steps of diafiltration clean-up of the dispersion and then concentration of it to a desired level. This process of dispersion preparation leads to microcrystalline particles of Z-average diameters smaller than 400 nm as measured by photon correlation spectroscopy. Various modifications of precipitation schemes are described, many of which are suitable for large-scale manufacture of these agent dispersions.
