Basic drugs and drug-like compounds were loaded onto alginic acid through an acid-base reaction. The resulting polymer solution was electrospun with a PVA carrier polymer to provide non-woven mats useful for biomedical applications. Presented here is a kinetic analysis of drug release through an ion exchange mechanism. Application to wound healing is also discussed.
