“…Lipids are a variety of non-polar molecules including fatty acids, phospholipids, and sterols. Fatty acids are amphiphilic molecules with a long (un) saturated hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group at the end of the chain ( Kumar, 2019 ). They are the building blocks to fabricate triglycerides, phospholipids, or cholesterol.…”

Surface modification of biomaterial can improve its biocompatibility and add new biofunctions, such as targeting specific tissues, communication with cells, and modulation of intracellular trafficking. Here, we summarize the use of various natural materials, namely, cell membrane, exosomes, proteins, peptides, lipids, fatty acids, and polysaccharides as coating materials on micron- and nano-sized particles and droplets with the functions imparted by coating with different materials. We discuss the applicability, operational parameters, and limitation of different coating techniques, from the more conventional approaches such as extrusion and sonication to the latest innovation seen on the microfluidics platform. Methods commonly used in the field to examine the coating, including its composition, physical dimension, stability, fluidity, permeability, and biological functions, are reviewed.
