API INTEGRATION - Modification of Silicone Chemistry & Its Influence on Release Rates of APIs
Brian Reilly and Nathan Wolfe say integrating APIs into a silicone system requires consideration of multiple factors, such as compatibility of the silicone with the API and, more generally, achievement of the prescribed dose delivery rate over the prescribed amount of time. And because different APIs can potentially alter the properties of silicone and vice versa, modification of silicone chemistry may be necessary.
