Ethyl cellulose is a non-toxic, physiologicallyinert, and stable hydrophobic polymer. It is widely used in the preparation ofsustained release matrices for drug delivery systems.
Application
Ethyl cellulose can be used:
To prepare polymeric microcapsules of Alachlor and Metolachlor to study their controlled-release properties.
As a core matrix to synthesize biphasic drug release nanofibers.
To prepare wax-based solid dispersion pellets with excellent floating and sustained-release ability.
Novel hot electron-emitting working electrodes and conventional counter electrodes were created by screen printing. Thus, low-cost disposable electrode chips for bioaffinity assays were produced to replace our older expensive electrode chips manufactured by manufacturing techniques of electronics from silicon or

Ethanol ablation, the injection of ethanol to induce necrosis, was originally used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma, with survival rates comparable to surgery. However, efficacy is limited due to leakage into surrounding tissue. To reduce leakage, we previously reported incorporating ethyl

Chitosan has become a focus of major interest in recent years due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. Although this material has already been extensively investigated in the design of different types of drug delivery systems, it is still
To investigate a new microfluidic method for the continuous preparation of hollow-shell nanoparticles of a hydrophobic polymer and the simultaneous encapsulation within these of a hydrophilic active pharmaceutical ingredient. A specially designed and constructed microfluidic device which facilitates at a
The design and fabrication of sustained/controlled release dosage forms, employing new excipients capable of extending/controlling the release of drugs from the dosage forms over prolonged periods, has worked well in achieving optimally enhanced therapeutic levels of the drugs. In this
