Poor drug encapsulation efficiency and rapid release of the encapsulated drug limit the use of nanoparticles in biomedical applications involving water-soluble drugs. We have developed a novel polymer-surfactant nanoparticle formulation, using the anionic surfactant Aerosol OT (AOT) and polysacchari

## Abstract Two different approaches were used to fabricate porous scaffolds, and their __in vitro__ drug releasing characteristics were examined. In the first method, a poly(Lβlactic acid) (PLLA) solution and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) + acetaminophen solution was homogenized. The emulsion was then
Biodegradable nanoparticles formulated from poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and polylactide (PLA) polymers are being extensively investigated for various drug delivery applications. In this study, we hypothesize that the solid-state solubility of hydrophobic drugs in polymers could influence t
