ABSTRACTReaction of Et2AIOEt with ethylene glycol or catechol produced polymers of the general form -[-AI(OEt)-O-R-O-]-n, for R = CH2CH2 or C6H4, respectively. Pyrolytic conversion of these polymers to ceramic materials produced A12O3, at mild (∼500°C) temperatures under a flowing atmosphere of dry air. The crystal phase obtained from the thermolysis is highly dependent upon the degree of cross-linking present in the initial polymer. These results are discussed in terms of the required solid-state atomic reorganization necessary to proceed from polymer to ceramic.

Background: Controlled oral dosage forms have always been preferred for drugs with variable absorption, and short biological half life and frequent dosing. The prime goal with sustained release systems is to maintain uniform therapeutic blood levels for longer periods of time. Interpenetrating networks (IPNs) have been evidenced as uniform sustained release systems. In current study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and locust bean gum (LBG) based IPNs were developed for the oral sustained release drug delivery of gliclazide (shows variable absorption). Method: The IPNs were synthesized by emulsion cross-linking method using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross linking agent. Gliclazide is a potential second generation, short-acting sulfonylurea oral hypoglycemic agent is having a short biological half-life (2-4 h), variable absorption and poor oral bioavailability. Various batches of IPNs were formulated by varying LBG: PVA ratio and evaluated for percentage yield, drug entrapment efficiency (DEE), swelling properties and in vitro drug release studies. Further characterizations were done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), C13 Solid state NMR, X-Ray diffraction study (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Differential scanning microscopy (DSC) studies. Results: The percentage yield, drug entrapment and equilibrium swelling was observed to be dependent on PVA-LBG ratio and GA amount. Sustained release of drug was observed in all IPN formulations (approx 59 - 86% in 8 h in various batches) with variable release kinetics. SEM studies revealed the regular structures of IPNs. FTIR, XRD, C13 Solid state NMR and DSC studies proposed that drug was successfully incorporated into the formed IPNs. Conclusion: IPNs of LBG and PVA can be used as a promising carrier with uniform sustained release characteristics.

ABSTRACTTo prepare new polycarbosilane polymer precursors with high solubility and the capability of UV cross-linking, commercial polycarbosilane was modified by a chemical route. These modifications involved AlCl3 catalyzed chlorination reactions of polycarbosilane's Si-H bonds. The resultant Si-Cl bonds were substituted by a reaction with sodium acetylyde to form Si-C=CH ligands. These ligands are suitable for controlled, free radical initiated cross-linking of the polycarbosilane polymers. The increase in molecular weight should allow for increased Tg's and the retention of polymer pre-forms. In this report, the chlorination of the polycarbosilane polymer and the substitution reactions of polycarbosilane were examined with IR, 29Si and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the retention of polymer pre-forms were analyzed after UV exposure and inert atmosphere pyrolysis.
