Controlled drug release from porous materials by plasma polymer deposition.
In this communication, we present a novel approach for control of drug release from porous materials. The method is based on deposition of a plasma polymer layer with controlled thickness which reduces a pore diameter and, hence, defines the rate of drug release.
