For <strong>the</strong> extruded DPD/L100 samples <strong>the</strong> following shifts can be observed; from <strong>the</strong>BE <strong>as</strong>signment peaks <strong>of</strong> O atoms in L100, only two peaks at BE = ~ 532.67 eV and ~533.63eV are visible and have been shifted to ~532.27 eV and ~533.77 eV respectively 12 in <strong>the</strong>extruded samples. Mainly -OH/ -O-OH/-C=O bonds are changed to -C-C(O)-O bonds in <strong>the</strong>extruded <strong>for</strong>mulation. The peak at BE= ~533.30 eV in DPD represents C-O bonds which w<strong>as</strong>later shifted to ~533.77eV BE (DPD/L100) (Fig. 6.5c).Fig. 6.5c: O 1s peaks <strong>of</strong> DPD, L100, DPD/L100 and PRP, L100-55, PRP/L100-55<strong>for</strong>mulations.In <strong>the</strong> c<strong>as</strong>e <strong>of</strong> PRP/L100-55 <strong>for</strong>mulations (Fig 6.5c), it is obvious that O (1s) BEpeaks at ~532.87 eV from L100-55 and peaks at ~533.34 eV from PRP are shifted at ~532.70eV and ~533.20 eV respectively at <strong>the</strong> point <strong>of</strong> <strong>extrusion</strong>. The newly <strong>for</strong>med peak at~533.10eV (~532.70 eV + ~533.20 eV) is <strong>the</strong> combination <strong>of</strong> two C-O bonds from drugpolymercomplex representing new C-O-O-C bonds. One single O (1s) BE peak <strong>for</strong>DPD/L100-55 <strong>for</strong>mulation (Supp. Fig. 4) at BE= 533.01 eV resulted from <strong>the</strong> combined peakshifts <strong>of</strong> DPD (BE = ~533.3eV) and L100-55 (BE= ~532.87eV).
