Abstract

Abstract Controlled release technologies present an invaluable scientific and practical tool for improving performance and safety of drugs. These technologies involve designing the system of materials/drugs/site of action in such a way that barriers surrounding the drug to deliver the latter act with efficacy and safety of the drug at the optimum time and the rate needed. Advances in polymer science have led to the development of several novel drug delivery systems. A proper consideration of surface and bulk properties can aid in designing of polymeric systems for various drug delivery applications. This article is an overview of polymeric controlled release technology starting from fundamentals to applications.
