Preparation of Polymeric Nanomaterials Using Emulsion Polymerization

Abstract

Nanoparticles are said to be active particles which are entrapped in the surface of the polymeric core. Since nanoparticles were used in medical and biotechnological fields, there is a great demand in the preparation of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are prepared from different substances; mainly, polymer material is used in the field of preparing nanomaterials. There are different methods involved in the preparation of nanoparticles from the polymer. Various experiments and research studies were carried out on the basic preparation of nanoparticles. Emulsion polymerization could be used to make polymeric nanoparticles with a high solid concentration without the need of surfactants. To make carboxylate polystyrene beads or amidine polystyrene nanoparticles, polymeric nanocolloids containing surface functional groups were produced. In this research, the preparation of nanoparticles from emulsion polymerization is represented along with the size and distribution material.

Improved Melatonin Delivery by a Size-Controlled Polydopamine Nanoformulation Attenuates Preclinical Diabetic Retinopathy

“…The erratic drug properties have led to lower encapsulation, but using a reverse emulsification strategy has been advantageous. 30 This method is a thermodynamically stable system in which nanosized liquid moieties facilitate synthesis of nanoparticles. In the presence of oxygen and the given alkaline conditions, dopamine monomers oxidize and self-polymerize to form polydopamine nanoparticles.…”

“…The particles formed are of matrix nature, whereby other reports focus on the core–shell structure. The erratic drug properties have led to lower encapsulation, but using a reverse emulsification strategy has been advantageous .

“…CA was encapsulated within lipid nanoparticles using the melt emulsification method. , Initially, 100 mg of Precirol ATO 5 was mixed with 20 mg of Labrafac lipophile WL 1349 (Gattefosse, USA), 20 mg of Span 80, and 20 mg of CA in a small round-bottom flask, which was previously maintained at ∼60 °C. Simultaneously, an aqueous surfactant solution comprised of 0.1% Tween 80 and 20 mL of water was heated.…”
