  2. Nanofiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanofiber

    This adjustability is important for their application in drug delivery system in which the functional parameters need to be precisely controlled. [8] Preliminary studies indicate that antibiotics and anticancer drugs may be encapsulated in electrospun nanofibers by adding the drug into the polymer solution prior to electrospinning.

  3. Nanoparticle drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoparticle_drug_delivery

    One of the issues faced by drug delivery is the solubility of the drug in the body; around 40% of newly detected chemicals found in drug discovery are poorly soluble in water. [28] This low solubility affects the bioavailability of the drug, meaning the rate at which the drug reaches the circulatory system and thus the target site.

  4. Nanocarrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanocarrier

    Nanocarriers are useful in the drug delivery process because they can deliver drugs to site-specific targets, allowing drugs to be delivered in certain organs or cells but not in others. Site-specificity is a major therapeutic benefit as it prevents drugs from being delivered to the wrong places.

  5. Polymer nanocomposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_nanocomposite

    Rod or tube-like, rather than nearly spherical, nanocarriers may offer additional advantages in terms of drug delivery systems. Such drug carrier particles possess additional choice of the axial ratio , the curvature, and the "all-sweeping" hydrodynamic-related rotation , and they can be modified chemically at the inner surface, the outer ...

  6. Electrospinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrospinning

    Electrospinning is a fiber production method that uses electrical force (based on Electrohydrodynamic [1] principals) to draw charged threads of polymer solutions for producing nanofibers with diameters ranging from nanometers to micrometers.

  8. Drug carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_carrier

    A drug carrier or drug vehicle is a substrate used in the process of drug delivery which serves to improve the selectivity, effectiveness, and/or safety of drug administration. [1] Drug carriers are primarily used to control the release of drugs into systemic circulation.
