Abstract: The swelling of HPMC matrices was measured by determining the vertical displacement with time using a dial indicator. Curve fitting of the data of swelling was carried out by using the coupled Case I-Case II model. The thickness of the swollen layer formed around the matrix core was greater in HPMC compacts of higher viscosity grade. The rates of Case I (αs coefficient) and Case II (βs coefficient) swelling mechanisms increased with concentration and/or viscosity grade of HPMC. © 1995.
