Smart Microparticles with a pH-responsive Macropore for Targeted Oral Drug Delivery

Abstract The development of a smart microencapsulation system programmed to actively respond to environmental pH change has long been recognized a key technology in pharmaceutical and food sciences. To this end, we developed hollow microparticles (MPs) with self-controlled macropores that respond to...
