Figure 8.

The usage frequency of (a) various classes of dispersants and (b) classes of dispersants in the formulations that led to formation of redispersible nanocomposites in the studies reported in Table 2. The sample size for the analysis here is 120, even though the number of publications in Table 2 is 92, because some studies investigated more than one drug. WSD: other water-soluble dispersant (besides soluble polymer–surfactant), WID: water-insoluble dispersant, CLP: crosslinked polymers.
