- (s) Ibuprofen is a problematic drug in tableting, and dissolution due to its poor solubility, hydrophobicity, and tendency to stick to surface.
- Superhydrophobic surfaces have considerable technological potential for various applications due to their extreme water-repellent properties.
- Hydrogels are important functional materials with a myriad of potential applications.
- Being a major constituent of hard tissues found in humans, synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) as a substitute to natural bone and teeth is gaining importance.
- In sol-gel technology, either for bulk or thin films, the stability in time of the solutions is a major factor to control.
- Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) has been increasingly considered as an important bioink material due to its tailorable mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, and ability to be photopolymerized in situ as well as printability.
- Recently, chitosan (CS) was given much attention as a functional biopolymer for designing various hydrogels for industrial, environmental and biomedical applications, but their biomedical use is limited due to the toxicity of the crosslinker agents.
