Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a nonionic derivativeof cellulose. It is a thermosensitive, biodegradable polymer with low criticalsolution temperature.
Application
Hydroxypropyl cellulose can be used to prepare composite nanospheres for drug delivery systems. Hydroxypropyl methacrylate/hydroxy cellulose graft copolymers can be used as matrices for controlled-release tablets. It can also be used as an electrolyte additive to prepare gel polymerelectrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells.

The formation constant of triiodide ions from iodine-iodide equilibrium in aqueous-organic solvent or polymer mixed media have been determined spectrophotometrically at three different temperatures 20, 30 and 40°C. The organic solvents chosen for the study are ethylene glycol, 2-methoxy ethanol
Options for extending the duration of tear film protection in dry eyes include artificial tear formulations with enhanced viscosity/polymeric systems, ocular ointments and gels, and, recently, the hydroxypropyl cellulose ophthalmic insert (Lacrisert(R); distributed by Aton Pharma, Inc., Lawrenceville, NJ, USA).

The present study was undertaken to develop a solid self-emulsifying drug delivery system of coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)/s-SEDDS) with high photostability and oral bioavailability. The CoQ(10)/s-SEDDS was prepared by spray-drying an emulsion preconcentrate containing CoQ(10), medium-chain triglyceride, sucrose ester of fatty
