Formulation of Fe₃O₄/Acrylate Co-Polymer Nanocomposites as Potential Drug Carriers

Development and evaluation of organic vapour permeation system for packaging applications

“…On the contrary, EVOH that is capable of binding has sharply decreased in flow rates and as time progresses, slowly decreased. These patterns are common in drug release delivery system and such burst release can be determined by the amount of substances present …”

“…The multilayer film was prepared with LDPE, LLDPE‐g‐MA, and EVOH using a casting film extruder (HSE30x5/SSN‐500/BW2, HANKOOK E. M Ltd., Pyeongtaek, Korea). The advantage of coextrusion is that each pair of desirable properties is combined into one, which include having gases and liquids impermeable, resistance to ambient environment, rigidity, or heat sealability, that is, hardly attainable with a single material …”

“…These patterns are common in drug release delivery system and such burst release can be determined by the amount of substances present. 34,37 In contrast, spontaneous rearrangements of polymer chains might reduce permeability behaviour, followed by the cessation of initial burst release. 38 The subsequent slow reaction to diffusion of permeants has slowed down the flow rate until the steady state is reached, often referred to as lag time period.…”

Preparation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) conjugated iron oxide nanoparticles and their internalization into colon cancer cells

“…Magnetic particles have been used in medicine for biosensing [1], cell separation [2], and for cancer related applications such as drug delivery [3], imaging [4] and magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) [5]. These applications can be achieved by injecting nanoparticles locally into a tumor or systemically through the blood stream.…”

A new drug carrier: Magnetite nanoparticles coated with amphiphilic block copolymer

“…Misra and co-workers described a magnetic drug-targeting carrier consisting of magnetic nanoparticles encapsulated with a smart polymer with characteristics of controlled drug release [19] . Ng and co-workers synthesized Fe 3 O 4 /acrylate co-polymer nanocomposites which could be considered as potential drug carriers [20] . These reports have revealed the potential application of magnetite-polymer composites in drug delivery.…”
