Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical modeling of controlled drug delivery.
TL;DR: This special issue provides comprehensive review of the current state of the art of mathematical concerning the mass transport mechanisms which are modeling approaches of various types of devices involved in the control of drug release.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport of penetrants in the macromolecular structure of coals. V. Anomalous transport in pretreated coal particles
Lucy M. Lucht,Nicholas A. Peppas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the pyridine transport mechanism was shown to be non-Fickian or Case-II transport, and that it was only slightly affected by the pretreatment of the coal samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermally Responsive Swelling Properties of Polyacrylamide/Poly(acrylic acid) Interpenetrating Polymer Network Nanoparticles
Donald E. Owens,Yicun Jian,Justin E. Fang,Brandon V. Slaughter,Yi-Hsuan Chen,Nicholas A. Peppas +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the interpenetrating polymer network (IPN), random copolymer, and homopolymer nanoparticles of acrylamide and acrylic acid were prepared using an inverse emulsion polymerization technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature- and pH-sensitive terpolymers for modulated delivery of streptokinase
TL;DR: Results showed that increasing the NIPAAm concentration in the copolymers or terpolymers resulted in a higher degree of temperature-sensitive swelling, and synthesis of a terpolymer in which segments rich in N-isopropylacrylamide were distributed within P(AA-co-HEMA) chains led to hydrogels displaying increased temperature sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular PVA hydrogels produced by freeze/thawing
TL;DR: In this article, cellular polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels that exhibit enhanced swelling kinetics from an initial dry state were prepared by freezing and thawing techniques in the presence of NaCl.
