The aim of this work was to establish the diltiazem hydrochloride release mechanism from the chitosan-alginate matrix tablet (MCB/AS) and chitosan-carrageenan matrix tablet (MCS/CSI). The weight loss for MCS/CSI is mainly due to the weight loss of the matrix while for MCB/AS it is mainly due to the diltiazem hydrochloride released from the tablet. Using the Peppa's model the release order for MCS/CSI was n = 1.07 +/- 0.13 and for MCB/AS was n = 0.76 +/- 0.02. Thus, MCS/CSI has a transport mechanism, and for MCB/AS the drug release mechanism is a combined process of diffusion and relaxation. MCB/AS has an elastic modulus (G' = 10(5) Pa) one order of magnitude higher than MCS/CSI (G' = 10(4) Pa). MCB/AS is able to uptake solvent without disrupting the microstructure due to its high elastic modulus. Instead MCS/CSI showed a quick erosion process, which conducted to the tablet disintegration due to a fast solvent uptake process.
