dispersed system
Liquid preparations containing undissolved orimmiscible drugdistributed throughout a vehicle.
In these preparations, the substance distributed isreferred to as the dispersed phase, and the vehicle istermed the dispersing phase or dispersion medium.
Suspension: The particles of the dispersed phase areusually solid materials that are insoluble in thedispersion medium.
Emulsions: the dispersed phase is a liquid that is
neither soluble nor miscible with the liquid of thedispersing phase.
In the case of anaerosol, the dispersed phase may besmall air bubbles throughout a solution or an
emulsion.

Suspensions
A pharmaceutical suspension is a coarsedispersion in which insoluble solid particlesare dispersed in a liquid medium.
The particles have diameters for the mostpart greater than 0.1 m

Interfacial %roperties ofSuspended %articles
The large surface area of the particles thatresults from the grinding is associated with asurface free energ( that ma)es thes(stem thermodynamically unstable b(
which we mean that the particles are highl(energetic and tend to regroup in such a wa(as to decrease the total area and reduce thesurface free energ(.
The particles in a liquid suspension therefore
tend to focculate that is to form light ,u(conglomerates that are held together b(wea) van der aals forces.

Sedimentation Parameters
The sedimentation volume F is de/ned asthe ratio of the /nal or ultimate volumeof the sediment Vu to the original volume
of the suspension Vo before settling
