Environmental friendly carrier material for nifedipine as hypertension drug by E. Budianto, S.H. Astuti

“…One way of developing a controlled drug delivery system is making nifedipine microcapsules by using environmentally friendly polymers of polylactic acid and polycaprolactone via the evaporation method using oil-in-water solvents. Polylactic acid and polycaprolactone can be said to be environmentally friendly polymers, because they can be degraded naturally in nature both in the biotic, and abiotic environment, or microorganism. …”

Laboratory Testing of Polymer Flooding by Hydrolyzed Poly(acrylamide) in High Salinity Conditions by I. Gussenov, A. Shakhvorostov, A. Ayazbayeva, S.E. Kudaibergenov

“…The displacement of 420-cP oil from sand pack models showed that injecting 3 pore volumes (PVs) of polymer solutions significantly increased the oil recovery factor, with an increment of 16─28% after the injection of 1 PV of water. The results of fractional flow calculations, along with sand pack flooding experiments, suggest that the oil recovery factor measurements are most likely overestimated by roughly 10%. …”
