This work describes an approach to modify the release of active compound from a 3D printed model drug product geometry intended for flexible dosing and precision medication. The production of novel polylactic acid and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose based feed materials containing nitrofurantoin for 3D printing purposes is demonstrated. Nitrofurantoin, Metolose® and polylactic acid were successfully co-extruded with up to 40% Metolose® content, and subsequently 3D printed into model disk...

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of incorporating microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) on montmorillonite (MMT) reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites prepared by solution casting method. The biodegradability, tensile and morphological properties of PLA hybrid composites were investigated using soil burial test, tensile testing machine, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and optical microscopy.
