Preparation of drug-loaded chitosan microspheres repair materials.

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, microspheres, as a new polymer material, have been applied to all aspects of human beings. Microspheres can play a huge role in food safety, electronic technology, sewage treatment, biomedicine, etc., and are non-toxic or harmless. There are three main types of substrates for the preparation of microspheres: natural polymers, semi-synthetic polymer materials, and synthetic polymer materials.In this study, the inorganic material kaolin was modified by the emulsification-crosslinking method with chitosan and composite microspheres with large interlayer spacing were prepared, which were characterized by Fourier Transform Ioncyclotron Resonancel (FTIR) analysis and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The prepared kaolin/chitosan microspheres were then placed in different amounts of aspirin and the optimal dose was investigated by encapsulation efficiency and drug loading rate. The drug release rate of 0.5 h, 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, and 12 h was then determined by simulating the human colon to determine the performance of the sustained-release drug.The experimental results showed that after the prepared composite microspheres were loaded with aspirin drug, we got the optimal dosage of 0.1 g by discussing the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading rate of the drug-loaded microspheres, and the encapsulation efficiency reached 80.80%, while the drug loading rate was 24.40%, the drug release capacity reached about 83% in about 12 hours.The research shows that the kaolin/chitosan drug-loaded microspheres prepared by the emulsification and cross-linking method are excellent drug-loading materials.
