dc.description.abstractMicroneedles (MN) skin patches are novel medical devices in micron scale with a needle array which offers an alternative drug delivery system to conventional methods. MN patches are applied onto the skin reaching the dermal layer where the drug molecules are released at a specific rate. There is a lack of knowledge surrounding some determinant factors required to define an efficient MN application into the user skin. The aim of the project is to determine the optimum application parameters to fabricate a polymeric MN patch and to design a disposable single-use MN applicator with enhanced usability.en
