The effect of some processing conditions on the characteristics of biodegradable microspheres obtained by an emulsion solvent evaporation process

Unloaded microspheres were prepared from polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHB-HV) polymers using an oil-in-water emulsion solvent evaporation method. The study was conducted to evaluate how the polymer and some process parameters affect properties of the final microsphe...
