Composition of Paper and Synthetic Polymers

Natural and Synthetic Biomedical Polymers

Synthetic Non-Biodegradable Polymers:

Synthetic polymers have been widely used in making various medical devices, such as disposable supplies, implants, drug delivery systems and tissue engineering scaffolds. The advantages of using polymers, as biomaterials, are their manufacturability. Polymers are easy to fabricate into various sizes and shapes compared to metals and ceramics. They are also light in weight and with a wide range ...

Preparation and In Vitro Evaluation of Sustained-Release Matrix Tablets of Flutamide Using Synthetic and Naturally Occurring Polymers

Frequent dosing of the potent anti-androgen, flutamide, is necessary to reach a therapeutic level for the treatment of prostatic carcinoma. Sustained delivery of the drug could reduce the adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disorders and improve patient compliance. In the present study sustained-release matrix tablets of flutamide were prepared by direct compression method using different ...
