An Overview on Ion Exchange Resins

Abstract

Ion exchange resins are versatile materials used in various industrial, scientific, and water treatment applications. They are synthetic or naturally occurring polymer beads or granules that can exchange ions with surrounding solutions. These resins are often used for their ability to selectively remove or replace specific ions in a solution. The use of IER has occupied an important place in the development of controlled- or sustained-release systems because of their better drug-retaining properties and prevention of dose dumping. Here's in this overview of ion exchange resins we have discussed about various types of IERs and their structure and chemistry. Mechanism of binding of IERs are defined here along with their application in the pharmaceutical industry.
