A NEW TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM I.

Abstract

With the aim of developing a new drug delivery system, the transdermal therapeutic system (TTS), the author has studied membranes prepared from polydimethylsiloxane-α, ω-diols with different viscosities. The solvent uptake of the membranes was studied using solvents of different polarities. The results of thermochemical investigations supported the differences found in the behaviour of the membranes.
