| Summary: | During
the past decade, pharmaceutical science has seen rapid growth in interest for
nanoscale materials. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs)
and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are popular research topics recently
introduced as nano-scale drug carriers; they have shown numerous merits in drug
delivery. Size is the most important index in a nanocarrier affecting its drug
delivery efficiency. The influence of preparation conditions and type of
lipidic components on the size of SLN and NLC in comparable states seems to be
interesting for researchers who investigate these types of carriers. This
review highlights the results of SLN and NLC particle size and size
distribution comparisons. |
