Mucoadhesion is where two surfaces, one of which is a mucous membrane, adhere to each
other. This has been of interest in the pharmaceutical sciences in order to enhance localised …

The vagina has been studied as a favorable site for local and systemic delivery of drugs for
female-related conditions. There are a large number of vaginal medications on the market …

Mucoadhesion in drug delivery systems has recently gained interest among pharmaceutical
scientists as a means of promoting dosage form residence time as well as improving …

The ability of mucoadhesive polymers to produce a large increase in the resistance to
deformation when incorporated into a mucus gel, relative to when the mucus gel and test …

Water transfer between mucoadhesive formulations and mucus gels was investigated. The
water up-take by compacts and gels, measured in terms of weight gain, was evaluated at …

A range of recently introduced poly (acrylic acid) polymers (Carbopols 974P, 934P and EX-
214, Noveon AA-1) have been prepared as 2.5% w/w gels in water using three different …

Towards the development of a thermosensitive drug-delivery vehicle for nasal delivery, a
systematic series of N-trimethyl chitosan chloride polymers, synthesised from chitosans of …

The purpose of this study was to assess and compare several in vitro methods for measuring
mucoadhesive performance, using a controlled-stress rheometer and a penetrometer …

The ability of mucoadhesive materials to produce a large increase in the resistance to
deformation when incorporated into a mucus gel, relative to when the mucus gel and test …

Mechanical spectroscopy was used to examine some of the factors that may affect mucus
gel strengthening: the effect of adding various concentrations of sodium chloride; …
