A simple equation for description of solute release I. Fickian and non-fickian release from non-swellable devices in the form of slabs, spheres, cylinders or discs

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple exponential relation Mt/M∞ = ktn is introduced to describe the general solute release behavior of controlled release polymeric devices, where Mt is the fractional release, t is the release time, k is a constant, and n is the diffusional exponent characteristic of the release mechanism.
