Micro- and nanoencapsulation of (bio)-active compounds in polyelectrolyte based capsules

Principal investigator: Gleb SUKHORUKOV

Group has experienced wth encapsulation of various bioactive substances from drugs to large proteins and DNA into so called Layer-by-Layer capsules. Shell of capsules are made from different synthetic and natural polymers, including petides and polysaccharides. The technology provides defined size, ranging from 100nm till 10 microns, surface properties and shell permeability and release.
