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

โฆ Synopsis
0 Semisolid ointments and creams were examined by nondestructive oscillato1 y methods, using the Weissenberg rheogoniometer and a digital transfer function analyser. Fundamental rheological parameters (v', G', and C " ) were measured over the frequency range from 2.5 X 10-4 to 25 Hz. The variation with frequency of the loss tangent (a ratio of viscous to elastic contributions) provides a useful "consistency spectrum" for characterization of pharmaceutical products. The shapes of spectra and the magnitudes of the loss tangent are discussed with relation to seven ointments and four creams. A comparison of oscillatory and transient (creep) methods is also made.
