Dissolving microneedles (MNs) are promising transdermal drug delivery systems that can effectively increase the absorption of drugs. They bypass first layer skin, stratum corneum (SC) and deliver drugs directly into dermis, by dissolving inside interstitial fluid releasing active. The traditional ways MN fabrication involve primarily micromolding, which basically uses silicone molds. Drugs polymer mixture solutions poured these molds after drying arrays carefully removed. In present study, a...
