Effect of sepiolite on the physical properties and swelling behavior of rifampicin-loaded nanocomposite hydrogels

Nanocomposite hydrogels based on poly(vinyl alcohol) – PVA and sepiolite have been prepared and their potential for drug delivery systems has been assessed by taking rifampicin as model drug. The nanocomposite hydrogels were characterized by WAXS and DSC and the swelling behavior and structural stab...
