Abstract

By using the so-called "lag-time" method, we studied the effect of membrane thickness(h), initial drug concentration(Co) and flow rate(V) on the difusion coefficient(D) of model drug in membranes. The experiment indicates that D increases as h and v increase; D Keeps constant when C0 changes; Under the same condition, the D value of N-alkyl chitosan membrane is bigger than that of pure chitosan membrane.
