Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and interactions in covalently and ionically crosslinked chitosan hydrogels for biomedical applications
TL;DR: This review presents a critical analysis of covalently and ionically crosslinked chitosan hydrogels and related networks for medical or pharmaceutical applications and discusses with reference to the specific chemical interactions, which dictate gel formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple equation for the description of solute release. III. Coupling of diffusion and relaxation
TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled diffusion/relaxation model is presented for general analysis of the release behavior of controlled release systems using a coupled diffusional and relaxation model, and the general form of this equation's exponent is related to the geometric shape of the releasing device through its aspect ratio.
Book ChapterDOI
Structure and Applications of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Hydrogels Produced by Conventional Crosslinking or by Freezing/Thawing Methods
TL;DR: In this article, a review of previous work in the development of freezing and thawing processes focusing on the implications of such materials for a variety of applications is presented, and future directions involving the further development of freeze/thawed PVA hydrogels are addressed.
Book
Hydrogels in Medicine and Pharmacy
TL;DR: Hydrogels in medicine and pharmacy, Hydrogel-like properties, and their applications in pharmacy and medicine are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymers for Drug Delivery Systems
TL;DR: The origins and applications of stimuli-responsive polymer systems and polymer therapeutics such as polymer-protein and polymer-drug conjugates are reviewed and the latest developments in polymers capable of molecular recognition or directing intracellular delivery are surveyed to illustrate areas of research advancing the frontiers of drug delivery.
