Tóm tắt

AbstractThe design and modeling of drug delivery devices using laminated layers to produce spatially nonuniform matrix devices leading to desired release rates were investigated with the focus on their optimal laminated hydrogel matrices for the diffusion‐controlled release of dissolved drugs. The model consists of polymer layers laminated together through a photopolymerization process to form matrices with a spatially nonuniform initial drug distribution and/or nonuniform drug diffusivities. The model solution establishes that the drug diffusion behavior, especially the early time release behavior, can be manipulated by altering spatially nonuniform initial drug distributions and drug diffusivities in the assembly. Furthermore, optimal control theory and calculus of variation were used to determine a set of initial drug concentrations in the layers to attain a system that exhibits a drug release profile as close to required profile as possible for all time.
