Abstract

This work illustrates a two-step strategy for the fabrication of polymer/drug nanoparticles. Utilizing solvent/non-solvent precipitation and gaseous basification, composite nanoparticles with 0-100% drug loadings are fabricated. Drug release kinetics are dictated by nanoparticle composition allowing future tuning for therapeutic applications.
