Cellulose disintegrants have been studied as insoluble matrices for sustained release tablets. Anionically charged carboxymethyl cellulose (sodium salt) was found to be inferior to methyl cellulose and poly(vinyl pyrollidone) as a binding agent for oxyphenbutazone tablets [291], However sodium carboxymethyl cellulose has found application as a dispersing agent for ibuprofen microspheres... 

Polysaccharides such as starch and vegetable gums have important pharmaceutical uses as excipients, binding agents for tablets, emulsifying agents and demulcents. Dextran finds employment as a plasma extender to maintain the osmotic pressure of blood.

Dextrates is a directly compressible tablet diluent used in chewable, nonchewable, soluble, dispersible, and effervescent tablets.It is a free-flowing material and glidants are thus unnecessary. Lubrication with magnesium stearate (0.5-1.0% w/w) is recommended. Dextrates may also be used as a binding agent by the addition of water, no further binder being required. ...

In tablet formulations, low- or medium-viscosity grades of methylcellulose are used as binding agents, the methylcellulose being added either as a dry powder or in solution.High-viscosity grades of methylcellulose may also be incorporated in tablet formulations as a disintegrant. " Methylcellulose may be added to a tablet formulation to produce sustained-release preparations. ...

In the case that the same ingredient may serve more than one function, this must be stated (e.g., starch in a tablet may be a binding agent, disintegrant and or filler). 

Use Pharmaceuticals, adhesives, inks, textile printing, cosmetics, thickening agent and colloidal stabilizer in confectionery and food products, binding agent in tablets, emulsifier. 

Use Tablet binding and coating agent, detoxicant and demulcent lubricant in ophthalmic preparations, film-forming agent in medical aerosols. 

Tara gum is used as an appetite suppressant and as a binding agent and disintegrating agent in compressed tablets. It is also used to thicken various cosmetic products such as lotions and creams [45-49]. Some excipients that improve solubility are hydrophilic solvents [50, 51] such as propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol. Hydrophobic solvents are vegetable oils, triacetin, and diethyl phthalate. Tara gum is used as polymer emulsifer with polysorbates and vitamin E [52, 53].
