چکیده

When a polymer membrane containing an immobilized, reactive chemical is in contact with solution containing a reactive solute, the solute diffuses into the membrane and reacts with the immobilized chemical. As a result, the reactive solute and the immobilized chemical are consumed, and at the same time, mobile products may be produced within the membrane. The mobile products will diffuse out of the membrane under the driving force of the resulting concentration gradient. This process continues until all of the immobilized chemical is consumed. In this study, diffusion and release of a mobile product produced in a reactive membrane was investigated experimentally and theoretically.

An Investigation into Some Effective Factors on Encapsulation Efficiency of Alpha-Tocopherol in Mlvs and the Release Profile from the Corresponding Liposomal Gel

Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) is a natural antioxidant very useful for preventing the harmful effects of UV sun rays as skin aging and cancers. In this study, different MLV formulations were made using egg lecithin and varying molar ratios of α-tocopherol and/or cholesterol, and their encapsulation efficiencies were determined. The best liposomal product was incorporated into a carbomer 980 gel. The...

Preparation and Characterization of Thermoresponsive In-situ Forming Poloxamer Hydrogel for Controlled Release of Nile red-loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles

Preparation and characterization of thermoresponsive in-situ forming poloxamer hydrogel for controlled release of Nile red-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles. Nanoparticles (NPs) are cleared rapidly from systemic circulation and do not provide sustained action in most cases. To solve this problem, this investigation introduces an erodible in-situ forming gel system as potential vehicles for prolo...
