INVITED REVIEW POLYMERIC DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLED DRUG RELEASE
Abstract
The use of polymers to provide controlled long-term delivery of drugs and other chemicals is a rapidly emerging field. This review focuses primarily on the applications of these polymeric systems, and their release mechanisms. Examples of applications include clinical, pharmaceutical, biological, agricultural, environmental, and household uses. Release mechanisms considered are diffusive (reservoirs, matrices), chemical (biocrosion, pendent chain), swelling, and magnetic control of drug release from polymers. Advantages and disadvantages of controlled-release technology, and approaches for developing and testing effective polymeric delivery systems arediscussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
