Design of pectin-chitosan nanoparticles as oral insulin carrier / Syed Mohamad Al-Azi Syed Othman

Polymeric nanoparticles are characterized by high risks of premature drug dissolution and low drug encapsulation efficiency. The latter is aggravated by slow nanoparticle formation from large molecular weight polymers due to their slow diffusion kinetics in the reaction medium. This study investigat...
