Drug Loading Study of a Novel Poly(Ethylene Oxide) Hydrogel

摘要

A novel polyethylene oxide (PEO) hydrogel wasdeveloped for demanding biomedical applications.This study assessed suitability of this PEO hydrogelfor use as a drug carrier. A number of drug loadingprocesses and analysis techniques were evaluated.This study shows that small molecular weight drugscan be readily loaded in the novel PEO hydrogel.
