Sustainable UV-Crosslinkable Acrylic Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives for Medical Application.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the potential of photoreactive acrylate patches as systems for transdermal drug delivery, in particular, using more renewable alternatives and more environmentally friendly synthesis routes of transdermal patches. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a transdermal patch containing ibuprofen and investigate its performance in vitro through the pigskin. Transparent patches were prepared using four acrylate copolymers with an incorporated photoinitiator. Two types of transdermal patches based on the photocrosslinking acrylic prepolymers with isobornyl methacrylate as biocomponent and monomer increasing Tg ("hard") were manufactured. The obtained patches were characterized for their adhesive properties and tested for permeability of the active substan
