Rheological and drug-release behaviour of a scleroglucan gel matrix at different drug loadings
The aim of this study was to investigate the drug-loading effects on release and mechanical properties of a scleroglucan gel, with the intention of considering them in delivery systems formulations. The rheological and kinetic properties of a 2% w/w scleroglucan gel matrix loaded and 0, 0.02, 0.04,...
