K. Westesen et H. Bunjes, DO NANOPARTICLES PREPARED FROM LIPIDS SOLID AT ROOM-TEMPERATURE ALWAYS POSSESS A SOLID LIPID MATRIX, International journal of pharmaceutics, 115(1), 1995, pp. 129-131
Nanoparticles prepared by melt-emulsification from lipids solid at roo
m temperature do not always represent suspension particles. Dispersed
trilaurin forms metastable supercooled melts at room and refrigerator
temperature. Such systems can be considered as o/w emulsions but not a
s dispersions of solid lipid nanoparticles.
