Modeling of Water Uptake into Polymeric Aerosol Particulates Deposited on the Lung Surface Neil Gupta Biological Transport December 12, 2001 Abstract Inhalation of aerosolized drugs holds promise as a means to treat localized disease states within the lung and may also represent an ideal method for drug delivery to the systemic circulation. The use of polymer-based aerosol carriers for controlled drug delivery via the lung is an approach that may improve the duration and effectiveness of drugs …
