APPLICATION OF CHITOSAN IN THE FORMULATION OF HYDROGELS APPLIED ON SKIN
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
These studies concerned the effect of composition on the substrate physicochemical parameters of hydrogels for use on skin. Hydrogels containing 1% of hydrocortisone and 1% of chitosan addition was made on the basis of methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and Carbopol 934 P. The release proceeds according to first-order kinetics. Depending on the type and composition of the polymer gels were obtained with various pharmaceutical availability of hydrocortisone. Addition of 1% chitosan affects the acceleration of the release in any given case
