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

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.
