PRP/ polymers extruded in comparison with <strong>the</strong> pure materials are shown in Fig 4a, whichshow a new absorption band at 1560 and 1555 cm -1 <strong>for</strong> PRP/ L100 and PRP/ L100-55,respectively. This is considered to be <strong>the</strong> result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> addition <strong>of</strong> amine group to a solution <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> carboxylic acid. During <strong>the</strong> ionization process <strong>the</strong> resonance is possible between <strong>the</strong> twoCO- bands within COO- groups.As a result, <strong>the</strong> characteristic CO- absorption is replaced by <strong>the</strong> band <strong>of</strong> an autosymmetricalvibrations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> COO- structure and is used <strong>as</strong> a diagnosis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> COO- group in<strong>the</strong> 1555- 1560 cm -1 region <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FTIR spectra [36, 37] . A strong and extensive interactionbetween anionic methacrylate polymers and cationic drug PRP is <strong>the</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e indicated by <strong>the</strong>presence <strong>of</strong> carboxylic groups in <strong>the</strong> structure, enabling <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> hydrogen bondswith <strong>the</strong> amine group <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> drug. Similarly, DPD/ L100 and DPD/ L100-55 extruded<strong>for</strong>mulations showed emergence <strong>of</strong> new bands at 1550cm -1 region (Fig. 7.5b) whichsignificantly complement <strong>the</strong> similar interactions mechanism <strong>as</strong> PRP <strong>for</strong>mulations.Fig 7.4b: FT-IR spectra <strong>of</strong> DPD extruded <strong>for</strong>mulations.3.7 X-ray P<strong>hot</strong>oelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysisIn order to show <strong>the</strong> surface elemental ratios <strong>of</strong> PRP, DPD, polymers and <strong>the</strong> extruded<strong>for</strong>mulations determined experimentally by XPS various surveys are depicted in Fig.7.5a-b <strong>as</strong>a comparison with <strong>the</strong> anticipated <strong>the</strong>oretical values derived from <strong>the</strong> structural <strong>for</strong>mula [38] .143 | P a g e
