pH responsive chitosan/gelatin hybrid polymer network (HPN) microspheres were prepared via the inverse emulsion crosslinking method. Cimetidine release from the microspheres was studied. The drug only delivers in acidic medium, while the release rate can be controlled by the HPN composition and the

## Abstract Chitosan hydrogels have been investigated as potential vehicles for targeted drug delivery. The gels were permanently crosslinked with conventional crosslinking agent, glutaraldehyde and the naturally occurring nonβtoxic crosslinking agent genipin in both the monomer and polymerised sta
Polymeric microparticles were fabricated from Carbopol, polycarbophil, chitosan, or Gantrez using a "water-in-oil emulsification" solvent evaporation method. Mean particle sizes, as determined by laser diffraction, were in the range 23-38 microm. Electron microscopy revealed that all microparticles
