the present work investigated the preparation of biodegradable beads with alginate polymer by ionotropic gelation method to improve the control release properties of the antibiotic rifampicin. ionotropic gelation method was applied to prepare beads using calcium chloride (cacl2) as cationic component and alginate as an anionic component. in this method, adding 0.5% w/v polyvinyl alcohol (pva) t...

microencapsulation has become a common technique in the production of controlled release dosage forms. many results have been reported, concerning the use of alginate beads as controlled release drug formulations. alginate has a unique gel-forming property in the presence of multivalent cations, in an aqueous medium. ibuprofen is an excellent analgesic and antipyretic, non-steroidal anti-inflam...

Incorporation of phosphate groups into a material may be of particular interest as they act as templates for hydroxyapatite growth through complexation with Ca(2+) and thus improve the osteoconduction property. The phosphate groups can be incorporated into chitosan through ionotropic gelation with tripolyphosphate (TPP). Interestingly, the ion pairs formed through negatively charged phosphate g...

Ionotropic gelation between chitosan, as the polycation of acidic pH, and TPP (penta sodium triphosphate aka tripolyphosphate) as the anionic oligomeric partner leads to the formation of colloidal systems which can range from approximately 100nm to 2000nm. Depending on the conditions, particles with different properties can be obtained including differences in size, zeta potential, stability at...
