Fig 7.5a: XPS surveys <strong>of</strong> pure PRP, DPD, L100 and L100-55.According to <strong>the</strong> surveys <strong>the</strong> PRP/L100, PRP/L100 55, DPD/L100 and DPD/L100-55showed <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> N atoms <strong>as</strong> 0.63%, 0.23%, 0.53% and 0.21%, respectively simplyindicating lower amount <strong>of</strong> N atom present in <strong>the</strong> final extruded <strong>for</strong>mulations.Fig. 7.5b: XPS surveys <strong>of</strong> extruded <strong>for</strong>mulations.The N (1s) binding energy (BE) <strong>of</strong> ~402.035 eV (Fig. 7.5c) in PRP and <strong>of</strong> ~402.5 eV (Fig.5d) in DPD suggests <strong>the</strong> protonation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NH + group while <strong>the</strong> slightly higher values <strong>of</strong> N(1s) energy (~402.8 eV) in PRP/L100 extrudates represents fur<strong>the</strong>r protonation effect <strong>of</strong> N144 | P a g e
