摘要
A methodological review of the preparation of albumin nano/microspheres and nano/microcapsules by suspension crosslinking is presented. Basic features of suspension crosslinking techniques, i.e. droplet formation and stabilization, particle size and size distribution, and droplet hardening are discussed. Droplet/particle size control by the adjustment of manufacturing parameters such as apparatus design, fluid viscosity, stabilizer and stirrer speed are analyzed. Typical procedures for the preparation of albumin nano/microspheres and nano/microcapsules (including magnetically sensitive ones) are discussed on the basis of the particle size range they produce and the type of oil phase they employ. Manufacturing problems, including microencapsulation of solid core materials, droplet coalescence, central or peripheral location of magnetic particles in albumin microcapsules, are illustrated and discussed. The dependence of microcapsule characteristics, namely hydration, biodegradability and core release, are also outlined. © 1990.
