Polymeric Nanocapsules: Concepts and Applications

摘要: This chapter presents an overview of polymeric nanocapsules for dermatological and cosmetic applications, including their preparation methods, physicochemical characterization models supramolecular structures. Polymeric are advantageous because ability to control the release rate penetration/permeation drugs active ingredients in skin. These properties can be modulated through manipulating qualitative quantitative compositions formulations. The chemical nature raw materials define structures nanocapsule core surface. In addition, protect encapsulated drug or ingredient from degradation by acting as reservoirs. Aqueous suspensions directly applied on skin used intermediate products semisolid formulations, such hydrogels emulgels. rheological characteristics formulations modified presence nanocapsules. valuable devices applications represent a promising research field terms providing explored industry.
