Bentonite clays are broadly employed in the design of varied drug delivery systems due to their characteristic feature such as adsorption, swelling ability and biocompatibility. Combination polymers with clay particles considerably improve mechanical physical properties, - encapsulation efficiency controlled release behavior hybrids comparing starting components. One priority research areas at ...

     The effect of prepared Ayurvedic formulation was evaluated on excision and incision wound models in rats. The wound-healing activity was assessed by the rate of period of epithelialization and skin-breaking strength.
