Nanoparticles were prepared by using the copolymer via a double emulsion-evaporation technique. The paticles tended to form the configuration like capsules, i.e., the nanocapsules, because of the great size difference in PEG and PLA segments of the copolymer. Insulin, chosen as a model drug, was encapsulated into nanocapsules. The effect of preparation conditions on the size, insulin encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro drug release behavour of the nanoparticles were investigated. The experimental results show that the nanocapsules had a smooth spherical surface and the mean diameter was in the range from 180 nm to 350 nm, and the entrapment of insulin achieved up to 78.4. The drug-loaded nanocapsules released their content continuously, remarkably different from the corresponding micelles which gave a significant initial burst release followed by a slow release.展开更多
