Abstract:The present study reported on the potential application of star-shaped
poly(?-caprolactones) with different number of arms as new drug delivery
matrix. Linear and star-shaped PCL ibuprofen loaded microspheres were
prepared using oil-in-water (o/w) solvent evaporation technique and
characterized with FTIR, DSC, XRD and SEM analysis. High yield,
encapsulation efficiency and drug loadings were obtained for all
microspheres. FTIR analysis revealed the existence of interactions between
polymer … Show more
