    Effect of Polymer Crosslinking on Drug Release Kinetics

    By Bhinge S.D., S.R. Satpute, Mukesh Sharma, Jambi Ratna Raja Kumar

    Abstract: In order to improve treatment effectiveness and minimise adverse effects, polymer-based drug delivery systems are often used to produce regulated and sustained drug release. Polymer crosslinking, which alters the structural, mechanical, and degrading characteristics of the polymer matrix, is one of the key elements affecting drug release kinetics. The porosity, swelling behaviour, and rate of degradation of the polymer are all impacted by the crosslinking process, which may be accomplished …

    Chitosan-based Polymer Composites for Antibacterial and Antiviral Drug Applications

    By Nitin Sherje, Mane V.A., S.S. Shinde, Mukesh Sharma

    Abstract: The natural substance chitosan is made from chitin. It is used a lot in medicine because it is safe for the body, breaks down naturally, and kills germs. To find out how chitosan-based polymer mixes could be used to make drugs that kill germs and viruses, this study looks into them. By reacting with the cell walls of bacteria, chitosan has been shown to kill bacteria and stop viruses from …
