Diverse deformation properties of polymeric nanocapsules and lipid-core nanocapsules
Soft Matter, 2011The deformation properties of submicrometric drug carriers can influence their tissue-penetration ability and thus the drug targeting. The aim of this study was to determine whether the oily core composition (raw oils or a dispersion of oils and solid lipid) surrounded by a polymeric wall [poly(e-caprolactone), (PCL)] can affect the deformation ...

Polymers are the backbone of pharmaceutical nanotechnology allowing for a broad range of biomedical applications, especially in the development of novel drug delivery systems. This chapter focuses on polymeric nanocapsules, which are nanovesicular structures comprised of a polymeric shell surrounding a hollow, liquid, or solid core.

Nanocapsules as Drug Delivery Systems
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2005Dispersed polymer nanocapsules can serve as nano-sized drug carriers to achieve controlled release as well as efficient drug targeting. The dispersion stability and the primary physiological response are mainly determined by the type of the surfactant and the nature of the outer coating.

From Langmuir monolayers to nanocapsules
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2000Abstract This report intends to draw a line from the controlled preparation and understanding of Langmuir monolayers to the fabrication of hollow capsules with exciting perspectives for basic science and applications. It is shown that methods used to characterize structure and transport properties of Langmuir and Langmuir–Blodgett films could be used
