Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous advancement and better understanding of the technologies involved in the synthesis and formulation of gels have enabled the development of novel gel systems with diverse applications. Gel systems, such as nanogels, smart gels, hydrogels, organogels, etc., all have pharmaceutical applications.
I would like to provide a platform for scholars in related fields to collect and submit their latest research to this Special Issue, which encompasses the synthesis, optimization parameters, drug loading and release mechanisms, formulation and manufacturing considerations, and quality control monitoring properties of all types of gel systems that are either at research and development (R&D) stage, serving as pharmaceutical systems or already-established drug delivery systems.
I am looking forward to receiving your submissions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Kalliopi Dodou
Guest Editor
