  Self-Healing Polymer Composites for Pharmaceutical Packaging Applications

  By Karanje P.S., L.D. Mangate, Prasanna Kattimani, Shailly Gupta

  Abstract: Pharmaceutical packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, stability, and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products. Conventional polymer-based packaging materials are prone to mechanical damage, microcracks, and environmental degradation, which can compromise drug integrity. Self-healing polymer composites (SHPCs) offer a promising solution by enabling autonomous or stimuli-responsive repair mechanisms that restore packaging integrity, enhance durability, and extend product shelf life. These materials function through intrinsic mechanisms, such as dynamic covalent …

  Synthetic and Natural Polymer Composites in Wound Healing and Drug Delivery

  By Dol H. S., Vaishali Patil, Prasanna Kattimani, Mahesh Sharma

  Abstract: Both man-made and natural polymer mixtures have become important materials in wound repair and medicine delivery because they can be used in many ways and work well with living things. The benefits of both man-made and natural polymers are combined in these composites. They have a wide range of mechanical, chemical, and biological qualities that make them useful for many medical uses. In wound healing, polymer mixtures help tissues grow …
