Abstract

The mucoadhesive capacity of poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)(PHEMA) microspheres was studied in contact with Sprague-Dawley rat jejunum at pH= 6 and at 22° C. Dry PHEMA microparticles exhibited adequate mucoadhesive capacity, which was independent of nominal crosslinking ratio. When PHEMA microparticles were loaded with linear PEO chains of molecular weight 1000, the mucoadhesive capacity increased significantly, almost doubling. This behavior was attributed to a significant increase of the PEO chains ...
