Abstract: An ophthalmic composition includes a polyaphron dispersion.

Abstract: An ophthalmic composition comprising a polyaphron dispersion.

Abstract: A bioerodible patch comprising at least one bioadhesive layer and at least one non-bioadhesive layer, wherein the bioadhesive layer comprises at least one polyaphron dispersion and at least one bioadhesive polymer, and wherein the polyaphron dispersion comprises at least one pharmaceutically active agent.

Abstract: A biliquid foam includes from 10% to 98% by weight of a non-polar liquid other than a fuel and from 2 to 88% by weight of a continuous phase polar liquid comprising a C1-C4 alcohol, a liquid polyethylene glycol, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, or mixtures thereof, in an amount of at least 65% by weight, relative to the weight of the continuous phase, wherein the biliquid foam is stabilized with an amount of from 0.05% to 2% by weight based on the total formulation of a surfactant which is selected from castor oil/poly(alkylene glycol) adducts containing from 20 to 50 alkoxy groups, a C8-C24 fatty acid or hydrogenated castor oil/poly(alkylene glycol) adducts containing from 20 to 60 alkoxy groups, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A discrete powder which includes particles in which a biliquid foam has been entrapped within a matrix of a polymeric material. A process for the preparation of these discrete powders includes the steps of: i) preparing a biliquid foam, ii) forming a dispersion of the biliquid foam in an aqueous solution, suspension or dispersion of a polymeric material, and iii) subjecting the dispersion to drying under conditions such that a discrete powder is formed.

Abstract: A polyaphron dispersion comprising an external phase and polyaphrons having an internal phase, the internal phase comprising (i) a first phase which is liquid and (ii) a second phase which is liquid or gaseous.

Abstract: An aerosol composition which is prepared from a biliquid foam, an aqueous phase and a propellant, and wherein an oil soluble functional material is incorporated into the biliquid foam during preparation to enable this material to be more readily incorporated into the composition. The aerosol composition can be contained in a pressurized aerosol can and can be a polish, an air freshener, a repellant. a pre- or post-shave preparation, a shaving preparation or a follicle softener.
