โฆ Synopsis
The rheological evaluation of semisolids by continuous shear methods is limited in its application. However if materials are viscoelastic, their properties can be assessed in creep testing where fundamental parameters are provided and rheological behavior can be represented by mechanical models. Measurements have been made on a number of ointment bases over a range of temperature. The addition of small quantities of complex materials to paraffin ointment bases changes their behavior from elastic to viscoelastic. As many of the materials show a characteristic change in viscoelastic spectrum with temperature it is hoped that creep testing will provide a suitable method for the correct rheological evaluation of many important materials.

Rheogoniometer oscillatory tests of large amplitude were used to simulate the conditions of dermatological usage of semisolid ointments and creams. The onset of nonlinear viscoelastic behavior can be correlated with the yield stress found from continuous shear experiments. The rate of breakdown of v

Fundamental rheological parameters (v', G', and C " ) were measured over the frequency range from 2.5 X 10-4 to 25 Hz. The variation w
The disadvantages of petrolatum as an ointment base, i.e., greasiness, stickiness, and viscosity-temperature variations, can largely be overcome by the use of mineral oil gelled with certain waxes or resins, particular1 olyethylene resin. The most desirable hydrocarbon gel appears to be one m a d g
