Abstract: Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles containing progesterone were prepared by the solvent extraction/evaporation and microfluidic techniques. Microparticles were characterized by their size distribution, encapsulation efficiency, morphology and thermal properties. The effect of particle size, polydispersity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/08839115221121844
Abstract: Salicylic acid (SA)-based poly(anhydride-esters) (SAPAEs) hydrolytically degrade to release SA in a controlled manner over extended time periods. While these polymers have been well investigated under in vivo conditions, this study is the first detailed,… read more here.
