How Does Nanotechnology Facilitate Controlled and Sustained Release?
Nanotechnology employs nanoparticles, nanocapsules, and nanofibers to encapsulate drugs. These nanoscale carriers can be engineered to release their payloads at a controlled rate, influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, or other environmental triggers. The small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles allow for more precise control over drug release kinetics.
