This review reports the promising prospects of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) based nanostructured
materials considering two of their main potential uses, packaging and tissue engineering …

A review of the state of knowledge on nanocapsules prepared from preformed polymers as
active substances carriers is presented. This entails a general review of the different …

Nanotechnology focuses on the characterization, fabrica-tion, and manipulation of biological
and nonbiological structures smaller than 100 nm. Structures on this scale have been shown …

The nanoprecipitation technique for preparation of nanoparticles suffers the drawback of
poor incorporation of water soluble drugs. The aim of this study was therefore to assess …

Many active organic compounds and organic effect materials are poorly soluble in water, or
even insoluble. Aqueous forms of application thus require special formulation techniques to …

The techniques available to prepare biodegradable nanoparticles (nanospheres and
nanocapsules) from preformed polymers are reviewed. Although there is abundant literature …

Polymeric nanoparticle systems such as nanocapsules and nanospheres present potential
applications for the administration of therapeutic molecules. The physico-chemical …

The preparation, properties and potential applications in drug delivery of biocompatible and
biodegradable PLA-PEG and PLGA-PEG nanoparticles are discussed. PLA-PEG and PLGA …

The controlled release of medicaments remains the most convenient way of drug delivery.
Therefore, a wide variety of reports can be found in the open literature dealing with drug …

Stressing the theory involved in formulating suspensions, emulsions, and colloidal drug
products, this Second Edition of a well-received reference test highlights typical …
