Abstract

The saturation concentration of ibuprofen in
acrylic adhesive layers was established using microscopy,
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and rheometry,
21 days after preparation. DSC predicted a saturation
solubility of 14.84%w/w similar to the microscopic examination showing the presence of crystal nuclei at 14.8%w/w
after 21 days. Rheological measurements predicted a saturation concentration of between 19.5–21.5%w/w, similar
to the macroscopic appearance of the layers.
