Polymeric Drug‑Loaded Films with Uniform Particle Distribution for Controlled Release (Compositions and Methods for Preparing Polymeric Films Loaded with Uniformly Distributed Drug Particles, Tech ID: 17‑047)
Technology Overview: This technology enables the fabrication of polymeric films containing uniformly distributed drug particles, overcoming aggregation issues common in film‑based drug delivery systems. The method ensures consistent drug loading and controlled release characteristics across the film matrix. It is applicable to oral, transdermal, and implantable delivery formats and is compatible with scalable pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
Industry Pain Point: Non‑uniform drug distribution leads to inconsistent dosing and unreliable release profiles.
NJIT Solution: This method delivers highly uniform particle dispersion, ensuring predictable dosing and performance.
