Obviously, pharmaceutical packaging is a critical tool for drug delivery and regulatory compliance. In the pharmaceutical industry primary packaging containers such as vials, syringes, cartridges, or bottles from glass are used for various applications. Therefore, combinations of glass with plastics like in a syringe are frequently used packaging solutions. However, such devices generally require a modification of the glass surface. A common technique for tuning ...
