Outline of Research at the Start |
This project studies the preparation of particle aggregates that contain spherical and rod-like bio-based particles and protein-based fibrils towards drug delivery applications. The influence of particle size, shape and material on aggregate assembly, disassembly and drug release are investigated.
|
Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Supraparticles are particle constructs composed of smaller particle building blocks. Our results show that protein nanofibrils can be used to create supraparticles with crumpled shapes when mixed with nanoparticles (diameter below 1/10000 of a millimeter) and assembled using the spray drying technique. Larger nanoparticles required more nanofibrils for the creation of crumpled supraparticles, whereas building block softness and aspect ratio decreased the propensity of the nanofibrils to modify the supraparticle shape. The nanofibrils remained effective in creating crumpled shapes when drugs were incorporated within the supraparticle structure.
