Rational Design Using Artificial Intelligence Tools
Published on 2025-07-11 by Carlos Illanes-Bordom�s, Mariana Landin, Carlos A. Garc�a-Gonz�lez @MDPI
Abstract: This study explores novel alginate–konjac glucomannan core–shell aerogel particles for drug delivery systems fabricated via air-assisted coaxial prilling. A systematic approach is needed for the optimization of this method due to the numerous processing variables involved. This study investigated the influence of six variables: alginate and konjac glucomannan concentrations, compressed airflow, liquid pump pressures, and nozzle configuration. A hybrid software using A[...]
