“…In addition, Col nanoparticles enhance the delivery of certain drugs such as camptothocin, tetracycline, doxycicline, rolitetracycline, minocycline, amikacin, tobramycin, vancomycin, etc., into the systemic circulation due to its penetration ability into colloidal solution [ 112 ]. Conversely, the kinetics in a Col biomaterial are usually influenced by the physical processes, such as swelling to form a gel, polymer hydration via fluid, drug diffusion through the gel formed and eventual erosion of the polymeric gel [ 113 ]. For example, the polymer undergoes a relaxation process in an aqueous media, resulting in direct, gradual erodation of the hydrated polymer.…”
