Development and characterization of micellar systems for application as insect repellents.

TL;DR: Tests suggest that the tested samples exhibit safety profile greater than some commercially available products, and the anisotropic structure may constitute a barrier to diffusion and thereby controlling the drug release effectively.

Smart pH/magnetic sensitive Hericium erinaceus residue carboxymethyl chitin/Fe3O4 nanocomposite hydrogels with adjustable characteristics.

TL;DR: A smart hydrogels with pH/magnetic dual sensitivity was synthesized by in-situ synthesis of Fe3O4 inside carboxymethyl chitin hydrogel matrix prepared from Hericium erinaceus residue and the results showed that Fe3 O4 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized and uniformly distributed within the Hydrogels.

Influence of technological factors on formulation of sustained release tablets

TL;DR: In this article, theoretically expected rates of release of solid drugs incorporated into solid matrices have been derived for several model systems, where the drug particles are dispersed in a homogeneous, uniform matrix which acts as the diffusional medium and the particles are incorporated in an essentially granular matrix and released by the leaching action of the penetrating solvent.
