Journal ArticleDOI

Surface, interfacial and molecular aspects of polymer bioadhesion on soft tissues

Nicholas A. Peppas, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1985 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the nature of the adhesive interface, the surface roughness, the chemical structure of the bioadhesive-candidate material, the swelling (hydration) at the adhesive interfaces, and the dynamic development of the bond strength are analyzed in terms of molecular and surface theories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical and Physical Structure of Polymers as Carriers for Controlled Release of Bioactive Agents: A Review

Robert Langer, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1983 - 
TL;DR: In a controlled release system, a drug, pesticide, or other bioactive agent is incorporated into a carrier, generally a polymeric material as mentioned in this paper, and the rate of release of the substance is determined by the properties of the polymer itself and is only weakly dependent on environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of current nanoparticle and targeting moieties for the delivery of cancer therapeutics.

Stephanie D. Steichen, +2 more
- 14 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: An overview of available nanoscale drug carriers is provided by exploring the wide variety of developed nanostructures and the most commonly used moieties for targeted delivery by examining tumor physiology and the specific barriers present within both the tumor microenvironment and systemic delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation between mesh size and equilibrium degree of swelling of polymeric networks

Tiziana Canal, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1989 - 
TL;DR: Experimental results with hydrogels of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) are used to verify the new scaling laws.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation, structure and diffusional behavior of hydrogels in controlled release

Nicholas A. Peppas, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1993 - 
TL;DR: Application of swelling-controlled systems in various delivery situations is discussed with emphasis on the delivery rate and the stability of the releasing bioactive agents.
