CARRIERS FOR DRUG DELIVERY

摘要

The present invention relates to chemically bonded ceramic precursor material of aluminates and silicates exhibiting a controlled release rate and properties that make the material suitable as a carrier material used in drug delivery. According to the invention, this is accomplished by selecting a microstructure based on pre-reacted phases and/or reacting phases, which contains the drugs. The present invention also relates to a cured ceramic material and a method of manufacturing said cured material. The precursor and the cured ceramic material according to the present invention can suitably be used for different types of drug intake and delivery.
