Mucus-polymer Interactions

Mucus-Polymer Interactions is a biophysical phenomenon characterized by the dynamic interplay between polymeric materials and the mucosal matrix, governing the adhesion, diffusion, and retention of drug carriers at mucosal surfaces through mechanisms such as mucoadhesion, mucus penetration, and polymer-induced alterations in mucus rheology.
