Drug Delivery Coatings

Overview of Drug Delivery Coatings:

Drug delivery coatings are carriers for drug release (Figure 1), crossing a range of compounds including small molecules and antibiotics. The drugs are released with the degradation of the coatings from minutes to years (Figure 2). For example, the coronary stents always need to release anti-restenosis drugs, such as Rapamycin and Paclitaxel.
