Preparation and characterization of flurbiprofen-loaded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) microspheres [PDF]

Journal of Microencapsulation, 2008
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) microspheres containing flurbiprofen were prepared by an oil-in-water emulsion solvent evaporation method, in order to develop a particulate drug delivery system for localized administration. A response surface method (RSM) using a central composite design was employed to evaluate the effect of the ...

Developing Active Bilayer Films Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) and Gelatin or Sodium Caseinate

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bilayer films made from polymers with complementary properties, such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and proteins, loaded with active agents allow to produce materials with additional functionality compared to those used in conventional packaging. The objective of this research was the development of bilayer films based on PLA acting as the passive

Active Polymers Containing Silver Nanoparticles Combined With Formulations Based on Essential Oils: Quality Effect on Cereals and Dairy Products

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bioactive nanocomposite diffusion films containing plant essential oils (EOs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were fabricated and tested against foodborne pathogens, spoilage organisms, and insects in packaged foods. Films were based on chitosan (CH), poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT), and polylactic acid (PLA), containing ...
