In this study water-soluble polyurethane (WSPU) was synthesized from isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), and polyethylene glycol (PEG), 2-bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid or dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA), butane-1,4-diol (BD), and triethylamine (TEA) using an acetone process. The water solubility was investigated by solubilizing the polymer in water and measuring the contact angle and the results indicated that water solubility and contact angle tendency were increased as the molecular weight of the soft segment decreased, the amount of emulsifier was increased, and soft segment to hard segment ratio was lower. The contact angle of samples without emulsifier was greater than 87°, while that of with emulsifier was less than 67°, indicating a shift from highly hydrophobic to hydrophilic. The WSPU was also analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) to identify the absorption of functional groups and further checked by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The molecular weight of WSPU was measured using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). The structure of the WSPU was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The thermal properties of WSPU were analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Oral administration is the most commonly used and readily accepted form of drug delivery; however, it is find that many drugs are difficult to attain enough bioavailability when administered via this route. Polymeric micelles (PMs) can overcome some limitations of the oral delivery acting as carriers able to enhance drug absorption, by providing (1) protection of the loaded drug from the harsh environment of the GI tract, (2) release of the drug in a controlled manner at target sites, (3) prolongation of the residence time in the gut by mucoadhesion, and (4) inhibition of efflux pumps to improve the drug accumulation. To explain the mechanisms for enhancement of oral bioavailability, we discussed the special stability of PMs, the controlled release properties of pH-sensitive PMs, the prolongation of residence time with mucoadhesive PMs, and the P-gp inhibitors commonly used in PMs, respectively. The primary purpose of this paper is to illustrate the potential of PMs for delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs with bioavailability being well maintained.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG-200) and itaconic acid (IA) were used as raw materials to compound macromer through esterification reaction. A new type of specialized water-coke slurry dispersant was synthesized by copolymerization of microware, sodium methallyl sulfonate (SMAS) and maleic anhydride (MA). The experiment showed that the concentration of slurry could be reached to 63% with the dosage of 0.2%, and the apparent viscosity was 1140.3 mPa∙s. Through the analysis of the infrared, the dispersant was confirmed to have polyethylene glycol branched chain and hydrophilic functional groups such as carboxyl or sulfonic group. When the concentration of dispersant was 30 g/L, the surface tension of water could be decreased from 72.70 mN/m to 45.50 mN/m. Furthermore, when the solution pH value was 9, the Zeta potential of semi-coke powder surface could also be decreased from-13.38 mV to-25 mV with the addition of dispersant. Thus, this dispersant could increase electronegativity of semi-coke powder surface, enhance steric-hindrance effect and prevent the phenomenon of powder flocculation and gather. Meantime, it also could reinforce the semi-coke hydrophilic by reducing the surface tension of water effectively. And then, the high performance water-coke slurry could be obtained.

Abstract The aim of this study was to fabricate curcumin-loaded polymeric mixed micelle which was a new nanocarrier of therpeutic agent for skin uses. Curcumin was extracted from dried turmeric rhizomes using ethanol and recrystallized. The purity of curcumin was 79±3.6 %w/w. Six curcumin-loaded polymeric micelles (PM1-PM6) were prepared by simple dissolution method using poloxamer 407 (5% and 10%) as a main core structure. PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil (PEG-40HCO) was incorporated at two percentages (2.5% and 5.0%) to study the effect on the nanoparticle characteristics. The average particle sizes of PM1-PM6 were in the range of 33.3±6.6 nm to 171.3±52.8 nm. The entrapment efficiency and the loading capacity of curcumin were in the range of 47.45%-77.35% and 0.048%w/w-0.078%w/w, respectively. When PEG-40HCO was incorporated in to the polymeric micelles, the particle size decreased and the entrapment efficiency increased. Thus, PM4 and PM5 were selected for further study. Moisturizing antioxidant creams containing 0.005%w/w of curcumin loaded in PM4, PM5 and curcumin simply dissolved in propylene glycol (PG) were formulated. The resulted formulations showed good spreadability and good characteristics. After being subjected to accelerated test, all of the formulations remained with characteristic color, pH and showed no phase separation. The stability data showed that the moisturizing antioxidant creams were stable for the whole 3 months after storage at accelerated temperature (45°C/75%RH). The study demonstrated that polymeric mixed micelle spontaneously encapsulated a poorly water-soluble curcumin and increased the solubility up to 250 folds. The developed moisturizing cream containing 0.005%w/w of curcumin resulted a greenish-yellow color preparation. It had tolerable physicochemical properties based on curcumin content, pH and viscosity under the harsh condition. The cream also had satisfactory antioxidant activity, which can be regarded as an effective and acceptable therapeutic or skincare products for topical uses.
