About This Item
Application
Poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) (PHB) is a common polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), it has been widely used for food packaging, medical implants, biodegradable sutures and drug delivery systems due to its biocompatible and biodegradable properties. PHB has been investigated as drug delivery micro- and nano-carriers.

In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) nanoparticles were synthesised following nanoprecipitation method having different solvents and surfactant (Tween 80) concentrations. In this study, PHB nanoparticles were encapsulated with curcumin and subjected for sustained curcumin delivery. Both the curcumin loaded and unloaded
