Controlled Release Delivery Systems

  • Chapter
Synthetic Membranes: Science, Engineering and Applications

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 181))

Abstract

Controlled release systems offer significant advantages over conventional systems for the delivery of biologically active compounds in both the pharmaceutical and agrichemical fields. The advantages and disadvantages of various types of system design are discussed from the perspective of each of these major areas of application. Both erodible and non-erodible systems, providing release of agents by various mechanisms with characteristic rate profiles, are covered. The choice of type of system will depend heavily on its intended use and the rate (and uniformity of rate) and duration of release of compound required. The properties of release profiles provided by various designs of system are qualitatively and quantitatively described, with respect to areas of current and potential application.
