Mucoadhesion of 3% PVA+2% NaCMC MBT-films. Using a standard (A) pulley system, (B) the minimal force to detach a 3% PVA+2% NaCMC MBT-film from porcine intestine was measured at 37°C after incubation of film on ex vivo porcine intestine for 2 minutes at 37°C. Positive control consists of 3% PVA+2% NaCMC MBT-film super-glued onto the intestinal surface. Error bars represent standard deviation (n = 5 for experimental and control groups; n = 10 for film weight group). Student’s t-test was used for comparing PVA-NaCMC to positive control and film weight individually (statistical significance defined at p < 0.05). *: significantly different from positive control and film weight.
