FIGURE 1
Picture highlighting the main properties of drug delivery carriers and some of the most advanced processing techniques for carriers manufacturing. The drug can be encapsulated within the polymeric matrix (particles), loaded in the core (single and multi-core capsules) or adsorbed onto the inner pore surfaces. The control of drug release is achievable by tuning carriers’ composition, structure, size and shape and by the optimization of the fabrication technique and processing conditions.
