Table 5 The development of solving the “burst-releasing” phenomenon of Cu2+

IDM delivery system

Indomethacin

The initial explosion release of Cu2+ was eliminated

The sustained release time of IDM was controlled by adjusting the number of layers of the film

[109]

Novel Cu/PDMS nanocomposite

Nano-Cu particles

The distribution of Cu nanoparticles was more uniform in the PDMS matrix

The release rate of Cu2+ became adjustable by changing the number of Cu nanoparticles

[110]

CuT380 IUD with PLGA film

PLGA film

The occurrence of the burst release of Cu2+ was relieved by coating PLGA on the CuT380

[111]

Phytocompound-based electropolymeric coating

PolyCarvCu coating

It was a strong inhibitory effect on the initial release of Cu2+
