| Abstract | The ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)/Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) blend and EVA/Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) blend were applied as the drug carrier materials for a bi-layer drug-loaded stent coating film, which consisted of a paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded layer and a drug-free EVA layer. The changes of weight and appearance of the drug-free polymeric blend films with increasing time were examined by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) tests and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and the results showed the degradation of PLA and the leaching of PEG from the films. The effects of PLA, PEG and drug contents on in vitro drug release were investigated, and the results demonstrated that the addition of PLA promoted the drug release while the addition of PEG almost did not. Franz cells diffusion test results indicated that the bi-layer structure successfully endowed the stent coating with the release of drug in a unidirectional fashion. The release profiles of films incorporated PTX and the mechanical performance of the film could be customized by readily adjusting the contents of the blend components. Therefore, the polymeric blends could be useful drug carrier materials for drug-loaded stent coating capable of releasing drug in a highly tunable manner. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
