- Title
The encapsulation of an amphiphile into polystyrene microspheres of narrow size distribution.
- Abstract
The article presents a study focusing on the encapsulation of an amphiphile into polystyrene microspheres of narrow size distribution. As stated, encapsulation of compounds into nano- or microsized organic particles of narrow size distribution is gaining importance in fields of advanced imaging and diagnostic techniques and drug delivery systems.The study indicates that fluorescein, an amphiphilic molecule with limited solubility in both water and most common organic solvents, as well as an amphiphilic antibiotic, tetracycline, may be solvated in the organic phase of a biphasic system.
