I have different polymer solutions and I hypothesize that water molecules are retained based on the water-polymer interactions, so the amount of free water is less to intercat with drug tablet.
To validate I tried to find the water evaporation rate from each polymer solution from TGA.
But I see variation due to its high dependence in initial mass.
So now I think to find the Activation energy of water evaporation process. want to know whetehr this is correct, or whetehr there are better ways to prove my hypothesis. May be DSC?
Asma Siddiqa Thank you for your reply. Yes I agree, but what I observe is at isothermal at 38C, over 1 hour period there is water evaporation occuring.
Thanks for the question if u inbox me the tga graph hope i can better explain you@Fathima T. Doole
If you have access to a DSC, then you should definitely make use of it in this case! :)
