Study Notes

Emulsions Definition and Characteristics

Emulsions are a type of mixture where two or more liquids that don't normally mix, such as oil and water, are combined.
The dispersed phase in emulsions has a particle diameter range of 0.1-10 micrometers.

Pharmaceutical Applications of Emulsions

Emulsions can be used to prolong the release of drugs by controlling the release rate of the active ingredient.
Emulsions provide protection to drugs by shielding them from the external environment, such as light, oxygen, and enzymes, which can degrade the drug.
Emulsions can be used to assist in diagnosis by serving as a contrast agent in medical imaging, enhancing the visibility of organs and tissues.
