Preparation Of Poly(Lactic Acid) (Pla) Microspheres For Drug Delivery System

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres were fabricated through emulsion and solvent evaporation (ESE) technique. The particle size distributions (PSD) of microspheres obtained were in the range of 1- 250 μm, as within the range of acceptable size in parenteral injection. A shake flask method was demon...
