Effect of the Selected Inorganic Carriers on the Properties of Mechanocomposites with Drugs

Abstract

Hybrid core–shell type composites, including organicinorganic composites, possess unique proper ties and, hence, find use in many areas of science and technology, in particular, in pharmacy [1]. Mecha nochemical methods are efficient for the preparation of such materials because they shorten the duration of synthesis and avoid using large amounts of organic sol vents [2]. Rather popular inorganic drug carriers are highly porous alumina, silica, and magnesia [3, 4]. Hydroxides, which are mechanically softer and, due to layered structure, can be more easily mechanically activated are even more promising for the use in pharmacy.
