Synthesis and Study of Lidocaine Hydrochloride from Polymeric Film as a Wound Dressing
Introduction: Among various carrier materials capable of drug controlled-release, silica xerogels have been found to be noteworthy for loading and sustaining drug release. These silica xerogels were synthesized through sol-gel technology using Tetraethylortosilicate (TEOS) as a silica precursor. Methods: This study was an experimental basic research, which aimed to characterize the effect of a...
متن کاملControlled release of lidocaine hydrochloride from the surfactant-doped hybrid xerogels.
We investigate the controlled release of lidocaine hydrochloride from the doped silica-based xerogels. In the xerogel preparation, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), and propyltriethoxysilane (PTES) are used as precursors, and a nonionic surfactant Igepal CO 720 is used as a dopant. The experimental results suggest that the release of lidocaine hydrochloride can be easily c...
متن کاملSiO2–TiO2 xerogels for tailoring the release of brilliant blue FCF
Xerogels consisting of SiO2 and TiO2 were explored for controlled release of brilliant blue FCF (BBF). Both SiO2 and SiO2–TiO2 xerogels were prepared by way of sol–gel processing, and the BBF release behavior was compared. SiO2–TiO2 xerogels with varying TiO2 content were also studied and the BBF release behavior was determined for each SiO2–TiO2 xerogel. It was found that the release of BBF fr...
متن کاملNanoporous Xerogel for Adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+
Classical xerogels are robust, inexpensive and nontoxic materials with low-ordered nanoporous structures. In water streams where the pH is higher than the Point of Zero Charge, the surface of classical xerogels such as tetraethoxy orthosilan (TEOS) xerogel is negatively charged. It was assumed that a xerogel can work as a strong adsorbent for metal ions without further modification. Therefore, ...
متن کاملAtomic Force Microscopy Application in Biological Research: A Review Study
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a three-dimensional topographic technique with a high atomic resolution to measure surface roughness. AFM is a kind of scanning probe microscope, and its near-field technique is based on the interaction between a sharp tip and the atoms of the sample surface. There are several methods and many ways to modify the tip of the AFM to investigate surface properties, ...
