Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Pharmaceutical Technology

Background:

  • Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) are vital in pharmaceutical applications.
  • Controlling SLN interaction with surfaces is crucial for production and functionalization.
  • Polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) offer tunable surface properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the tunability of PEM for controlling solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) adsorption.
  • To explore how PEM surface modifications influence SLN adhesion and repulsion.
  • To understand SLN adsorption under conditions mimicking pharmaceutical production.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of various PEM with different layer architectures and surface properties.
  • Modification of PEM via deposition pH, top layer variation, PEGylation, and thermal crosslinking.
  • Characterization of SLN adsorption using FTIR-ATR and SEM.

Main Results:

  • SLN adhesion was dependent on PEM composition and surface properties.
  • PEGylated PEM showed minimal SLN adsorption, while PAH-capped PEM exhibited strong attraction.
  • Crystalline triglyceride SLN (platelet-shaped) adhered more strongly than spherical droplets.
  • Increased fluidity of wax-based SLN upon melting enhanced adsorption and promoted droplet coalescence.

Conclusions:

  • PEM surface properties can be precisely tuned to achieve desired SLN adsorption or repulsion.
  • These findings provide a basis for optimizing SLN production processes and surface functionalization strategies.
  • Understanding nanoparticle-surface interactions is key for advanced material design in pharmaceuticals.
