Synthesis and characterisation of novel n-vinyl pyrrolidinone/acrylic acid copolymers for use in biomedical applications.
(2006)
The aim of this study was to develop a novel hydrophilic polymer for use in biomedical applications. The polymers synthesised in this work were based on the monomers N-vinyl pyrrolidinone (NVP) and acrylic acid (AA) and ...
Development of novel monolithic matrices for drug delivery using conventional and non-conventional polymer processing technologies.
(2007)
The aim of this study was to produce a range of polymer based monolithic matrices
for controlled oral drug delivery using conventional polymer processing equipment. Poly
(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was chosen as the primary ...
