Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We investigated the influence of various physicochemical parameters on the morphology and time-porosity formation of membranes composed of ethylene-vinyl alcohol, starch, and α-amylase. In particular, we determined that (1) it is possible to obtain a membrane with desired porosity by phase inversion in an appropriate water-ethanol mixture and (2) the enzymatic bioerosion is controlled by the amount of α-amylase present in the blend. Although no experiments involving drugs were carried out, the delivery properties of the film were determined by measuring the Darcy permeability, the effective diffusivity, and the mean reaction rate of the membranes, relating them to the modality of membrane preparation, the amount of enzyme present within the membrane, and the incubation time of the samples in a buffer solution. Simple theoretical models of the delivery properties of the membranes were developed, leading to predictions that were in good agreement with the experimental results. © 2005 American Chemical Society.
