Geometric shape and topology of constituent particles can alter many colloidal properties such as Brownian motion, self-assembly, and phase behavior. Thus far, only single-component building blocks of colloids with connected surfaces have been studied, although topological colloids, with constituent particles shaped as freestanding knots and handlebodies of different genus, have been recently i...

Crystallinity plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry. It affects drug manufacturing, development processes, and stability of dosage forms. An objective this study was to measure analyze carbamazepine (CBZ) crystallinity before after formulation. Moreover, it intended determine extent which CBZ would affect loading, particle size, release from microparticles. The microparticles were p...
