TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results obtained by changing the relaxation rate of the matrix by means of the application of impermeable coatings that partially cover the matrix, and the overall result is that the original kinetics of the uncoated matrix is shifted towards constant release.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-sensitive membranes from poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic acid) interpenetrating networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an interpenetrating networks of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(acrylic acid) with varying degree of crosslinking and ionic content to determine the average molecular weight between crosslinks, crosslink density and mesh size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of drug release from biodegradable polymer blends.
TL;DR: This very first model to predict release from blend of PLGA and PCL was developed based on a heuristic approach and exhibited good prediction of the experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels for oral delivery of therapeutic proteins.
TL;DR: In this review, the most successful of the most popular carriers for the delivery of insulin, calcitonin and various types of interferons for the treatment of diabetes, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis and cancer are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in drug eluting stents.
TL;DR: In this review, light is shed on the current state-of-the-art in drug eluting stents, problems related to them and some of the ongoing research in this area.
