Mechanistic analysis of drug release from theophylline pellets coated by films containing pectin, chitosan and Eudragit RS.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained detailed information on the mechanism of drug release from mixed-film of pectin-chitosan/Eudragit RS, which contained 60% theophylline and 40% microcrystalline cellulose by extrusion-spheronization method.

Swelling controlled release of drug in spherical polymer-penetrant systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address problems of moving boundaries that involve mass diffusion in a spherical swelling polymer-penetrant system with a controlled release of drug and show that the velocity and rate decrease over a short period, and then increase again as the penetrant front proceeds to the sphere center.

Release study of alfuzosin hydrochloride loaded to novel hydrogel P(HEMA‐co‐AA)

TL;DR: Mohapatra et al. as discussed by the authors used macroporous copolymer 2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with acrylic acid (AA) in the presence of N,N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide as crosslinker and benzoyl peroxide as initiator.

Semi-interpenetrating chitosan/ionic liquid polymer networks as electro-responsive biomaterials for potential wound dressings and iontophoretic applications.

TL;DR: Results show that the prepared polycationic semi-interpenetrating copolymer networks (semi-IPN) presented advantageous mechanical, responsive and biological properties that enable them to be potentially employed for the design of new, safer, and advanced stimuli-responsive biomaterials for several biomedical applications such as haemostatic and wound healing dressings and iontophoretic patches.
