Anomalous Water-Sorption Kinetics in ASDs
View through CrossRef
Anomalous water-sorption kinetics in amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are caused by the slow swelling of the polymer. In this work, we used a diffusion–relaxation model with the Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equation and the Arrhenius equation to predict the anomalous water-sorption kinetics in ASDs of poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone)-co-vinyl-acetate (PVPVA) and indomethacin (IND) at 25 °C. These predictions were based on the viscosities of pure PVPVA and pure IND, as well as on the water-sorption kinetics in pure PVPVA. The diffusion–relaxation model was able to predict the different types of anomalous behavior leading to a qualitative and quantitative agreement with the experimental data. Predictions and experiments indicated more pronounced anomalous two-stage water-sorption behavior in the ASDs than in pure PVPVA. This was caused by a higher viscosity of glassy ASD–water mixtures compared to glassy PVPVA–water mixtures at the same distance from their glass transition temperature. These results suggest that this ASD swells more slowly than the polymer it is composed of. The modeling approach applied in this work can be used in the future for predicting diffusion-controlled release behavior or swelling-controlled release behavior of ASDs.
