Abstract

The main objective of this article is to present the basic stages of creating a computer simulation of medication release from an undegraded carrier. Additionally, an innovative approach was presented to the construction of a porous material used for making the carrier for the medication. The programme presented here is based on Cellular Automata, used as a tool for modelling physical, chemical and biological phenomena which change in time. The results of in-silico calculations have been compared with empirical results.
