Definition of Microparticles Microparticles are small, solid particles typically ranging from 1 to 1000 microns in diameter. These particles can be composed of a variety of materials such as polymers, lipids, proteins, or ceramics. Microparticles are often used in drug delivery systems, biomedical applications, and other industrial purposes. The core function of microparticles is to … Read more
Definition of Microcapsules Microcapsules are small, spherical particles that consist of a core material (typically an active ingredient like a drug, nutrient, or bioactive compound) surrounded by a protective shell or coating. The core material can be liquid, solid, or gas, and the shell is typically made from biocompatible materials, such as polymers, lipids, or … Read more
Definition of Microspheres Microspheres are small, spherical particles typically ranging from 1 to 1000 microns in size. They are commonly used in drug delivery systems, diagnostics, and other pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Microspheres are made from various materials, including polymers, lipids, and ceramics. These particles can encapsulate active ingredients such as drugs, enzymes, or other … Read more
Microencapsulation is a process where active substances (such as drugs, nutrients, or bioactive compounds) are enclosed within a protective coating or shell, typically in the micron or sub-micron size range (1 to 1000 microns). The primary goal is to protect the active ingredient from environmental factors (e.g., light, moisture, air) or to control the release … Read more
