We are a multi disciplinary, international organization dedicated to improving quality of life by advancing science, technology and education in the field of controlled delivery of bioactive substances.
Efforts to use materials to regulate the spatial and temporal release of substances for agricultural, veterinary, cosmetic, medicinal and household applications are probably as old as mankind. The modern era of controlled release can be traced to the development of the first commercially successful oral sustained-release products in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and to the development of controlled release of marine antifoulants from rubber in the 1950s. It was in this latter field, and in other agrochemical applications, that CRS was conceived in 1973. Five years later, CRS was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization, devoted to the advancement of the science and technology of controlled release. Interest in controlled release has grown and broadened in scope ever since, due to the realization of the economic, therapeutic and social benefits that can be derived from controlled release technology. A clear understanding of the "added value" of controlled release is crucial for all parties involved in human and animal health care and other applications.
Controlled release is the field of scientific activity concerned with the control in time and space of the biological effects of therapeutic agents in human and animal health, and of other active agents
