The results indicate that the release mechanism for the drug with small molecular weight is predominantly of ’pore type’, and for the drug with high molecular weight is predominantly pf ’partition type’. The release of protein drug with higher hydrophobicity enhances as the size of N-alkyl group and its substitution degree of chitosan increase.展开更多
Free volume theory was applied to the diffusion mechanism of drug through semi crystalline ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer.

According to free volume theory, drug diffused through semi crystalline EVA via vinyl acetate segments of the copolymer, and the dependence of D (D: diffusion coefficient of drug through EVA) on a (a :vinyl acetate content of copolymer; a <0.5) could be described as ln (D)=A1-A2/a(A1, A 2:constant). This was demonstrated by experimental data from several references.展开更多
