Abstract

Plasma-induced surface radicals formed on a variety of organic polymers have been studied by electron spin resonance (ESR), making it possible to provide a sound basis for future experimental design of polymer surface processing, i.e., plasma treatment. On the basis of the findings from such studies, several pharmaceutical applications in the field of drug engineering have been devised, which include preparation of double-compressed tablets for reservoir-type drug delivery system (DDS) of sustained- and delayed-release, and fabrication of functionalized composite powders applicable for matrix-type DDS by a mechanical application of plasma-irradiated polymer powder.
