Polymer Science and Technology

Polymer Science and Technology: Polymer Science or Macromolecular Science is a subdivision of polymer related materials science, mainly synthetic polymers such as plastics and elastomers. The field of polymer sciences includes researchers in multiple disciplines, including chemistry, physics, and engineering. The global industry for controlled-release polymer systems, which involves more than just drug delivery, is currently valued at $ 60 billion annually, with more than 100 million individuals using its products each year. Polymers used in bio-textiles should have three special qualities. The first is that they can be spun. For fibre production, this is the most crucial property. Their flexibility is another feature. This is important when a change in the form and / or parameters of the DDS is required during its application. Their biological compatibility is the ultimate feature. This is important for the preparation of oral DDS, implantable DDS and other types of DDS. Since TDDS fibers are made up of various filament forming polymers and natural fibres, they use X vivo. Various other considerations must be made, such as how the polymer affects drug characteristics, drug delivery routes, and desirable drug withdrawal modalities.
