diffusion of a dispersed solute in a polymeric matrix

TL;DR: A theoretical model for the diffusion study of a molecule in suspension in a continuous medium is presented in this article, which provides a realistic representation of the release by diffusion of a drug in a polymeric matrix at a concentration C 0 above its solubility C s in the medium, in the case where the molecule diffuses into the receptor.

Hydrophilic modification of silicone elastomer films: thermal, mechanical and theophylline permeability properties.

TL;DR: Results showed that blending increases significantly the overall water uptake of the films and, at the same time, has a limited detrimental effect on their mechanical properties, while end-linked films loaded with theophylline exhibited better rate-controlling properties in vitro, due to better dispersion of the sorbed water.
