Abstract

Stable co-polymer [vinyl acetate-co-3-dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate, p(VA-co-DMAPS)] latex of different compositions has been synthesized for the first time by emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization. The unusual >>overshooting<< behavior of the co-polymer tablets has been explained by the formation of specific clusters from the opposite oriented dipoles-zwitterionic species. The change of their concentration with the DMAPS unit fraction (m_DMAPS), pH and ionic strength has been considered responsible for the differences observed in the swelling kinetics. The results obtained prove that m_DMAPS and ionic strength could be used to control the swelling degree of the p(VA-co-DMAPS) matrices and their sustained drug delivery. In this way, p(VA-co-DMAPS) matrices could be effectively used to control the sustained release of drugs with basic properties like verapamil hydrochloride from model tablets.
