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 adhesion of pharmaceutical formulations to the mucosal tissue offers the possibility of
creating an intimate and prolonged contact at the site of administration. This prolonged …

Swelling behavior of anionic acrylic acid polyelectrolyte hydrogel synthesized by γ-radiation
crosslinking of polyacrylic acid in aqueous solution was investigated. Cross-linked …

Mucoadhesive tablets using different mixture of cellulose and polyacrylic derivatives were
prepared in order to obtain new formulations containing metronidazole for periodontal …

Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) hydrogels were prepared by treating 15 or 20% aqueous PVA
solutions to repeated cycles of freezing for 6 or 12 h at− 20° C and thawing for 2 h at 25° C …

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 …

Different types of mucoadhesive polymers, intended for buccal tablet formulation, were
investigated for their comparative mucoadhesive force, swelling behavior, residence time …

Mucoadhesion is a useful strategy for drug delivery systems, such as tablets, patches, gels,
liposomes, micro/nanoparticles, nanosuspensions, microemulsions and colloidal …

Mucoadhesive materials adhere persistently to mucosal surfaces. A mucoadhesive delivery
system could therefore facilitate the controlled release of drugs and optimize their …

Mucoadhesive temperature-mediated in situ gel formulations using chitosan and hydroxyl
propyl methyl cellulose were used to enhance intranasal (in) delivery of the dopamine D2 …
