synonym: solid dispersion polymer
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13917
Solid multiphasic mixture with at least one polymer component dominating.
Notes:
  1. The nonpolymeric components can act as fillers.
  2. The dispersed compounds can be in clusters of particles.
  3. Solid dispersion is commonly prepared by three different methods, namely, solventbased, fusion-melt, and hybrid fusion-solvent methods.
  4. In pharmaceutical preparations, incompatible polymer-drug mixtures are generally solid dispersions.
