Topographical characteristics of 3D printed polymeric microneedle surface and its impact on coating formulation attributes
Surface microtopography of μNDs (roughness, area, porosity) affects coating characteristics, impacting drug delivery efficacy. Coating methods influence drug deposition efficiency on μNDs. Surface wetting, energy, and adhesion depend on the coating.
