Enhanced Supersaturation via Fusion-Assisted Amorphization during FDM 3D Printing of Crystalline Poorly Soluble Drug Loaded Filaments

Filaments loaded with griseofulvin (GF), a model poorly water-soluble drug, were prepared and used for 3D printing via fused deposition modeling (FDM). GF was selected due to its high melting temperature, enabling lower temperature hot-melt extrusion (HME) keeping GF largely crystalline in the filam...
