Effect of heat on the percutaneous absorption and skin retention of three model penetrants

TL;DR: The effect of heat on the transdermal delivery of model penetrants of differing lipophilicity through artificial membranes (non-rate limiting) and human epidermis was investigated in vitro and epidermal flux and retention of all penetrants was found to be affected by temperature.

A Sustained Release Drug Delivery System Using Calcium Alginate Beads

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used scanning electron microscopy to examine the surface of the beads with and without sulphamethoxazole as a model drug and found that the release behavior was a function of calcium chloride concentration.
