Popis: | The simulation of drug release from a heterogeneous system is described in the article. Three phenomena were considered in the simulation: solvent flow through the pores of the media, drug dissolution and diffusion to the external environment. Cellular Automata (CA) were used to model the drug carrier and all processes. New diffusion algorithms were proposed. The simulation and laboratory results were compared and it was shown that they have a high level of similarity. |
