Evaluating Green Solvents for Sustainable PLGA Nanoparticle Synthesis
Abstract
We report the synthesis of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) using sustainable green solvents as safer alternatives to traditional petroleum-based, hazardous solvents. The resulting NPs are stable and exhibit comparable physicochemical properties and cellular uptake to those synthesized with traditional solvents, highlighting the potential of green solvents for NP synthesis.
