Abstract:
This final degree project investigates the use of nanoporous anodic alumina structures for controlled drug release. The study focuses on comparing inverted funnel-like structures with regular pores and explores their fabrication and design parameters. By implementing annealing, second anodization, and pore widening techniques, significant improvements in pore characteristics were achieved, allowing for greater control over drug release kinetics. The findings highlight the potential of nanoporous anodic alumina structures in tailoring drug delivery profiles and advancing pharmaceutical sciences.
