I am getting Gel like constancy while preparing microsponges by quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion. What might be the reason?

09 January 2025 1 1K Report

I am getting gel like constancy and it melts during dying. what might be the reason?

The gel-like consistency in your microsponges may be due to high polymer concentration, insufficient surfactant, inappropriate stirring speed, or rapid solvent evaporation. Adjusting these factors can help achieve the desired texture.
