in this paper, carbon nanotubes (cnts) were added into chitosan (cs) hydrogels in the form of chitosan modified cnts (cs-cnts) composites to prepare carbon nanotubes hydrogels (cnts-gel). the products, named cs-mwcnts, were characterized by scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy. swelling properties and effect of ph on controlled release performanc...

pulling force is one of the most important variables in pultrusion process which determines the capacity of the pultrusion machine. one of the characteristics of a desired pultrusion process is a low pulling force and a high line speed.among the important factors affecting the pulling force are the internal mold release agent (imr) and the content and particle size of the filler in resin formul...

Drug release kinetics plays an important role in determining the mechanism of drug release, which in turn helps in formulating controlled/sustained release formulations.In our study, different concentrations of green tea polyphenols (GTP) were encapsulated into casein nanoparticles which showed a maximum encapsulation efficiency (76.9%) at a GTP concentration of 5 mg/mL. The casein nanopa...

A topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. Gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. These microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. The particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. In vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. It was shown that drug release from microspheres followed H...

the aim of the current study was to design a porous osmotic pump–based drug delivery system for controlling the release of buspirone from the delivery system. the osmotic pump was successfully developed using symmetric membrane coating. the core of the tablets was prepared by direct compression technique and coated using dip-coating technique. drug release from the osmotic system was studied us...

thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. to increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (hpmc) and ethyl cellulose (ec) were used as the matrix polymer here. mixtures of thymol with eight ...

Background: Green tea polyphenols (GTP) are known to have several health benefits. In spite of these benefits, its application as a therapeutic agent is limited due to some of its limitations such as stability, bioavailability, and biotransformation. To overcome these limitations, liposomal nanoparticles have been used as a carrier of the GTP. <spa...

the aim of this study is to prepare novel sorbitol based extended release tablets by melt dispersion method using carbamazepine as a model drug. carbamazepine was melted along with sugar alcohol to get melt dispersion granules (mgds) and was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (dsc), powder x-ray diffractometry (xrd) and solubility study. the physical and chemical parameters of m...
