Ultrasensitive Biomems Sensors Based on Microcantilevers Patterned with Environmentally Responsive Hydrogels

TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative platform was developed for ultrasensitive microsensors based on microcantilevers patterned with crosslinked copolymeric hydrogels, after which a novel UV free-radical photolithography process was utilized to precisely align and pattern environmentally responsive hydrogel onto silicon microcants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calculation of the required size and shape of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose matrices to achieve desired drug release profiles

TL;DR: Both, theoretical and experimental data showed that a broad spectrum of drug release patterns can be achieved by varying the size and shape of the tablet, thus significantly facilitating the development of new pharmaceutical products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water diffusion and sorption in amorphous macromolecular systems and foods

TL;DR: The mechanisms of water sorption and diffusion in amorphous polymers is of particular importance in relation to our ability to interpret related transport phenomena in foods in foods as discussed by the authors, and the mechanisms can be determined by a variety of experimental techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Devices based on intelligent biopolymers for oral protein delivery.

TL;DR: The results of additional in vitro studies have shown that insulin release rates can be controlled by appropriate adjustment of the structure of the gels, and a very promising class of carriers for drug and especially protein delivery is developed.
