Abstract:A novel controlled drug delivery system was proposed, which contains a micro-structure for drug loading fabricated by using Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) via the hot-pressing method. The integrity of the PLGA micro-structure is the basis of the drug release control, but the visco-elastic property of PLGA causes the incomplete formation in the hot-pressing process. To obtain the improved hot-pressing parameters, the hot-pressing model of PLGA materials was established by using a 5-unit generalized Maxwel… Show more
