What Types of Nanoparticles are Used in Dermal Applications?
Several types of nanoparticles are used in dermal applications:
Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles that can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs): These are composed of solid lipids and possess good biocompatibility. Nanoemulsions: These are fine oil-in-water or water-in-oil dispersions with droplet sizes in the nanometer range. Polymeric nanoparticles: These are made from biodegradable and biocompatible polymers and can be tailored for controlled release.
