Composition and Structure
Lipid nanoparticles, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), lipid-drug conjugates (LDC) and polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (PLN), are colloidal carriers with a lipi...

Introduction
Highly potent, but poorly water-soluble, drug candidates are common outcomes of lead optimization and other such drug discovery programmes. Poor drug solubility presents several challenges including reduced bi...

Chapter
Characterization
Lipid nanoparticles are known to present three features—a solid nature, lipid matrix and colloidal (or smaller) particle size. These features are theorized to impart controlled drug release, biocompatibility a...

Production Techniques
Besides composition and structure, an important factor which influences the performance and characteristics of lipid nanoparticles is their production method, and a variety of production techniques have been i...

Processing Stability and Biodegradation of Polylactic Acid (PLA) Composites Reinforced with Cotton Linters or Maple Hardwood Fibres
Polylactic acid (PLA) composites comprising up to 25 wt% cotton linter (CL) or up to 50 % maple wood fibre (WF) were prepared by compounding and injection moulding. A reduction of crystallinity in the PLA matr...

Bacteriophage biocontrol has the potential to reduce enterococci on hospital fabrics, plastic and glass
Enterococci, particularly vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE), are a cause of continuing concern in hospitals due to their intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics and the increasing prevalence of acquired ...
