Abstract
The encapsulation of the hydrophobic fragrance 1,2βdimethylβ1βphenylβbutyramide (DMPBA), a typical C9 amide, in poly(methyl methacrylate), polystyrene, or acrylic copolymer nanoparticles can easily be obtained using a oneβstep miniemulsion process. It is shown that this hydrophobic compound directly influences the kinetics, the molecular weight, and the morphology of the nanocapsule formation. The release behavior can be tuned by the temperature in relation to the T~g~ of the polymer which makes these nanocapsules interesting candidates for temperatureβdependent delivery systems.

## Abstract Batch polymerization reactors commonly use optimal temperature control as the strategic operation parameter. This strategy allows for better operability and a more economic process. The main objective of the batch polymerization reactor control is to obtain acceptable product quality. D
Physico-chemical properties of injectable polymeric implant systems, based on the principle that a waterinsoluble polymer dissolved in a biocompatible solvent will precipitate upon contact with water, were studied and utilized to predict the release of proteins from these systems. Polylactide-co-gly
