To enhance the desirable properties of a polymer as a matrix for a controlled drug delivery system, efforts have been made to improve its hydrophilicity, biodegradation rate, and drug stability. Hydrophilic blocks play vital role in polymeric drug delivery systems, for example, poly(ethylene oxide)...

Apart from fatty acids, straight-chain molecules containing other hydrophilic end groups have been employed in numerous studies. In order to stabilize LB films chemical entities such as tlie alcohol group and tlie metliyl ester group have been introduced, botli of which are less hydrophilic tlian carboxylic acids and are largely unaffected by tlie pH of tlie subphase. 

The generally low chemical, mechanical and thennal stability of LB films hinders their use in a wide range of applications. Two approaches have been studied to solve this problem. One is to spread a polymerizable monomer on the subphase and to polymerize it either before or following transfer to the substrate. The second is to employ prefonned polymers containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. 

Partially hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol) grades are preferred because they have a hydrophobic /hydrophilic balance that make them uniquely suited for emulsion polymerization. The compatibUity of the residual acetate units with the poly(vinyl acetate) latex particles partly explains the observed stabilization effect. The amount of PVA employed is normally 4—10% on the weight of vinyl acetate monomer. The viscosity of the resulting latex increases with increasing molecular weight and decreasing hydrolysis of the PVA (318). 

Suspension Polymerization. Suspension polymerization is carried out in small droplets of monomer suspended in water. The monomer is first finely dispersed in water by vigorous agitation. Suspension stabiUzers act to minimize coalescence of droplets by forming a coating at the monomer—water interface. The hydrophobic—hydrophilic properties of the suspension stabiLizers ate key to resin properties and grain agglomeration (89). 

Acebutolol. Acebutolol hydrochloride is a hydrophilic, cardioselective P-adrenoceptor blocker that has about 1/25 the potency of propranolol in this regard. The dmg has moderate ISA and weak membrane stabilizing activities. It is approved for the treatment of hypertension and ventricular arrhythmias, especially PVCs. Acebutolol should produce minimal depression of heart rate because of its ISA (32). 

Nadolol. Nadolol (Table 3) is a hydrophilic, nonselective -adrenoceptor blocking agent having no ISA and no membrane-stabilizing activity. It is useful for the treatment of hypertension and chronic stable exertional angina (98,99,108).
