Processes of water vapor sorption by medicinal chitosan films and the kinetics of release of anti biotics of the cephalosporin series from these films have been studied. It has been found that the structural changes in the polymer matrix that are related particularly to its chemical modification via the interaction with drugs are the most probable cause of the deviation of the mass transfer mechanism from the classical Fick's mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
