 The study of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, HPMC, gels has become increasingly important due to their potential use in biomedical applications. In this paper, the authors investigate the effects of Hofmeister salts on the gelation of HPMC solutions. They also examine how the addition of surfactant affects the gelation process. Additionally, they explore the dissolution and dispersion of HPMC tablets in simulated body fluids. Finally, they explain the mechanism behind the sole gel transformation of HPMC in terms of molecular interactions. This article was authored by Cynial C. Joshi.
