Glyceryl monostearate is a lubricant for tablet manufacturing and may be used to form sustained-release matrices for solid dosage forms.Sustained-release applications include the formulation of pellets for tablets or suppositories and the preparation of a veterinary bolus. Glyceryl monostearate has also been used as a matrix ingredient for a biodegradable, implantable, controlled-release dosage form. ... 

The natural nanofibrils of BNC are biosynthesized in the form of a strong gel comprising up to 99% water. It seems inexpedient to destroy this gel to obtain a flowable dispersion since this process requires high energy consumption. Currently, the BNC gel is applicable in medicine and veterinary science as biocompatible implants. 

Recent advances in the field of biomaterials and their medical applications indicate the significance and potential of various nanoceUulose in the development of novel classes of medical devices and applications in healthcare and veterinary medicine. The physical and mechanical properties of nanocellulose are attributes that enable nanocellulose membranes to function as effective temporary wound dressings. On the other hand, because implantable biomaterials (i.e., scaffolds) are also needed, a new approach has been undertaken to apply cellulose as a material entirely integrated into the body, either as a bone or skin graft. 

Generally, a decrease of the length of the aliphatic chain causes a decrease of the melting and glass transition temperatures. These products are easier to process and are more flexible. Most of these polymers are biocompatible and bioresorbable. This is why numerous applications, generally patented, are in the medical or veterinary sector (implants, sutures). Nevertheless, certain companies have developed more usual products.
