General description
Ethyl cellulose(EC) is a hydrophobic andphysiologically inert cellulose derivative. It is widely used to preparephysiological dosage forms. It can also be used as a polymer coating,particle emulsion stabilizer and in pharmaceuticallyuseful aqueous latex dispersions.
Application
Ethyl cellulose can be used as a starting material to prepare zein-based nanofibers for controlled drug release. The addition of EC improves the solubility and mechanical properties of the composite nanofibers.
It can be used to prepare graphene-based ink for inkjet printing. This graphene oxide ink printed onto ITO surfaces can be used as an electrode for label-free DNA sensing.
Owing to its unique features such as gastroresistance, biocompatibility, and degradation to non-toxic and readily excreted products, EC is widely used in oral and topical drug dosage forms for the controlled release of the drug.

Microfluidic tools and techniques for manipulating fluid droplets have become core to many scientific and technological fields. Despite the plethora of existing approaches to fluidic manipulation, non-Newtonian fluid phenomena are rarely taken advantage of. Here we introduce embedded droplet printing-a

Ethylcellulose (EC) based microencapsulated drug delivery systems are being extensively studied throughout the world for achieving extended drug release and protecting the core substance from degradation. The in vitro evaluation of EC microcapsules have elucidated that their particle characteristics are
