Microencapsulation and Nanoencapsulation Using Supercritical Fluid (SCF) Techniques

Microencapsulation and Nanoencapsulation: A Review

ABSTARCT Encapsulation is a process of enclosing the substances within an inert material which protects from environment as well as control drug release. Recently, two type of encapsulation has been performed in several research. Nanoencapsulation is the coating of various substances within another material at sizes on the nano scale. Microencapsulation is similar to nanoencapsulation aside fro...

Vetiver Oil Extraction Optimization Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid

Supercritical Fluid Extraction+supercritical Fluid Chromatography

high pressures also requires special equipment. In summary, both RESS crystallization and SAS crystallization appear to be promising methods for generating supersaturation and therefore represent alternatives to conventional crystallization. Such alternatives may prove attractive in applications such as polymer and pharmaceutical processing, or in particle design for drug delivery. It is possib...

Development of Environmental Analysis Methods Using Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Supercritical Fluid Chromatography

Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) was first attempted in 1962 [1]. Although several papers on SFC were published during the subsequent two decades [2], their content did not encourage many researchers to investigate this technique. After the introduction of fused-silica capillary SFC in the early 1980s [3], many papers describing fundamental studies as well as application studies appeare...

Formation of Nanoparticles of a Hydrophilic Drug using Supercritical CO2 and Microencapsulation for Sustained Release

The objective of this work was to develop sustained release formulation for hydrophilic drugs with minimal burst effects. For this purpose, nanoparticles of a hydrophilic drug were produced using supercritical CO2, which were then encapsulated into polymer microparticles using an anhydrous method, followed by studying their sustained in-vitro drug release. A hydrophilic drug, dexamethasone phos...
