19 August 2024 • 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM PDT | Conv. Ctr. Exhibit Hall A
Abstract
Linde type A (LTA) zeolite is synthesized in the laboratory using organic templates and different synthetic methods such that the crystal size can be controlled for specific applications. Due to the porous structure, LTA zeolites have attracted significant research attentions in drug delivery system, because of the ability to enhance their loading capacity and evaluate the drug release profile to targeted tissues and organs. This study was to evaluate LTA zeolite synthesized at different temperatures and to monitor their drug loading capabilities.
