Abstract
The objective of the present was to review those physicochemical properties of few polymers for their utilizations in development of conventional and modern pharmaceutical drug delivery systems. Polymers had become an obligatory ingredient for our pharmaceutical industries during dosage form development since last few decades as per reports. Most of these polymers were being using into matrix or coating of conventional and novel dosage forms. These polymers were either hydrophilic or hydrophobic in nature that gets swell and form a viscous gel-like mass upon contact with dissolution fluids or gastrointestinal fluids. The physicochemical properties of those polymers were successfully exploited into the development of novel controlled release, site specific drug delivery systems, prolonged drug release systems and other modified released formulations for targeting of various drug candidates successfully. Those drug(s) were delivered into the target site of action for getting possible pharmacological responses into the body. Furthermore, in the present article, an attempt was made to describe the significance of the physicochemical properties of those polymers for defining its possible detailed applications.
