Roughness-Controlled Self-Assembly of Mannitol/LB Agar Microparticles by Polymorphic Transformation for Pulmonary Drug Delivery by Zhang, Fengying, Ngoc, Nguyen Thi Quynh, Tay, Bao Hui, Mendyk, Aleksander, Shao, Yu-Hsuan, Lau, Raymond

“…SEM images coupled with image analysis software reveal that different surface morphology of the microparticles have different drug adhesion mechanisms. Comparison of ACI results and image analysis of SEM images shows that an increase in the particle surface roughness can increase the fine particle fractions (FPFs) using the rod-covered mannitol microparticles as drug carriers. …”
