Microfluidic synthesis and properties of bio-inspired colloids
Today, custom-tailored polymeric hydrogel microparticles are routinely used for drug delivery, medical diagnostics, as well as many fundamental studies in colloidal science. There is growing consensus that physical attributes, such as size, shape, internal structure, and mechanical deformability, …

Development of Binary Composite Solid Microparticles for Improved Intranasal Absorption of Low Permeation Drug Molecules
… hypothesis states that preparation of binary composite microparticles with Pluronic® triblock copolymers (polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol-polyethylene glycol) should allow increased drug transport across nasal mucosal tissue relative to drug alone. Testing the hypothesis necessitated …
