Abstract: This disclosure relates to a process for fabricating fibers and nonwoven webs, preferably sub-micron fibers and nonwoven webs, comprising electroblowing a fluid comprising a self-assembling material, and articles made therefrom.

Abstract: A method of making a cold water dispersible granular composition comprising a plasticizer and thermally moldable polymer, for example hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, or hydroxy ethylcellulose. The method comprises, extruding the composition at elevated temperatures to form an extruded material and grinding the extruded material to form a granular product. The granules are very dispersible in cold water and when added to cold water, the solution can be used in coating operations, such as to coat pharmaceuticals, foods and food supplements to protect, color, harden, make foods more palatable or mask the taste of solid dosage forms.

Abstract: The release of an active composition from a solid tablet can be delayed by employing a fine particle sized hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ether composition.

Abstract: Solid tablets of a therapeutically active composition exhibit sustained release properties when compressed with a fine particle sized hydroxypropyl cellulose ether composition.

Abstract: A transdermal pharmaceutical dosage form comprises(1) a gel matrix comprising a water-soluble cellulose ether homogeneously dispersed in a major amount of the weight of said gel matrix of a plasticizer for said cellulose ether, said gel matrix having dispersed therein a pharmaceutically active agent;(2) a non-porous covering and(3) means for adhering the dosage to the skin of a human or animal patient.

Abstract: A solid sustained release dosage form is disclosed comprising a gel matrix containing HPMC and a major amount of a plasticizer therefor into which gel matrix is reversibly dispersed a pharmaceutically active agent.

Abstract: Dispersions capable of the sustained release of active organic agents comprising an aqueous dispersion of a water-insoluble cellulose ether which cellulose ether particles have reversibly diffused therein the active agent. The dispersions may be used as dispersions, dewatered to form a powder, or coalesced to form films or other articles all of which are capable of sustained release of the active agent.
