Gradient Gels: Exploring Diverse Starch Concentrations in Hydrogel Formulations
Starch hydrogels can be used for both drug formulation and delivery; they have attracted a lot of interest in the pharmaceutical dispensing industry. Four pharmacy students were tasked with creating starch hydrogels in this study, with different concentrations (2%, 4%, 5%, and 10%) to see how concentration affected the hydrogels' chemical and physical characteristics. The goal of this study was to provide important new information about how to optimise starch hydrogel formulations for use in medicine. The students gained an understanding of how concentration affects properties like viscosity, mechanical strength, and transparency by methodically studying these important variables. Furthermore, the investigation examined the impact of environmental variables like pH and temperature on the stability and functionality of the starch hydrogels.
