In recent years, orally disintegrating films (ODFs) have been studied as alternative ways for drug administration. They can easily be applied into the mouth and quickly disintegrate, releasing the drug with no need of water ...

Antimicrobial active films are studied to increase fresh food shelf life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of process and storage conditions on physical properties and antimicrobial activity of alginate-based ...

Self-supporting edible films are one of the emerging technologies used today to optimize food preservation. With an ever increasing demand of consumers for high quality food products in addition to environmental concerns ...

The hydrolysis and condensation reactions involved in synthesis of ureasil-polyether films influence the film formation time and the number of chemical groups able to form hydrogen bonds, responsible for the bioadhesion, ...

Active edible films have been proposed as an alternative to extend shelf life of fresh foods. Most essential oils have antimicrobial properties; however, storage conditions could reduce their activity. To avoid this effect ...

The study of the strontium-doped lanthanum manganites in the form of films covers a large area of technological applications, such as ceramics semiconductors and solid oxide fuel cell cathode. Strontium-doped lanthanum ...
