Alginate Polymers for Drug Delivery

چکیده
Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who advised and assisted with our research throughout our time at ENSIC. We sincerely appreciate their time and efforts. Abstract The goal of this project was to investigate the properties of alginate stabilized emulsions and their potential role for drug delivery. The polymer acts as a barrier between phases in oil-in-water emulsions to increase stability. An emulsion consisting of 10% oil by volume with 1.4 mg/mL alginate as a surfactant was found to be most stable. Kinetic release experiments showed that using the emulsion provided a controlled release of the model drug when compared to no emulsion at all.

Objective(s): It is proposed that particulate antigens could better interact with the antigen presenting cells (APCs). A fast, simple and scalable process for preparation of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) is coating of charged antigenic particles, like viruses, with oppositely charged polymers. A second coating with a charged polymer could increase the stability and modify the immunomodulatory ...

متن کاملFunctionalized hydroxyapatite scaffolds coated with sodium alginate and chitosan for controlled drug delivery
Due to its bioactivity, hydroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the most perspective materials for controlled drug delivery. Biodegradable polymers like chitosan and sodium alginate are used as coating materials for ceramic scaffolds. In this work the application of HAp/sodium alginate or chitosan composite materials which provide controlled lidocaine release is discussed. The polymers and lidocaine hyd...
