Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Rheology
  • Colloid Science

Background:

  • Structured fluid biomaterials (gels, creams, emulsions, suspensions) are vital in medicine as controlled release vehicles.
  • Colloidal forces create microstructures, yielding properties like yield stress and viscoelasticity, crucial for therapeutic retention and protection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the physical basis and mathematical models of structured fluid biomaterials.
  • To analyze the disruptive forces during spraying.
  • To identify challenges and opportunities for designing sprayable biomaterials.

Main Methods:

  • Exploration of material properties of structured fluid biomaterials.
  • Analysis of the physics and mathematical models governing spraying processes.
  • Review of existing literature on biomaterial spraying.

Main Results:

  • Cohesive forces in biomaterials can conflict with disruptive forces during spraying.
  • Spray processes involve multiscale forces that break down bulk fluids.
  • Past research on spraying overlooked complex colloidal biomaterials.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the interplay between biomaterial properties and spraying forces is key.
  • Rational design is needed to overcome challenges in spray application of structured biomaterials.
  • Opportunities exist for developing advanced sprayable therapeutic delivery systems.
