Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit an article to this Special Issue, entitled “Microemulsion Utility in Pharmaceuticals”. Microemulsions and nanoemulsions are lipid-based liquid systems of water, oil, and stabilizers. Their unique structures and properties endow them with good stability, excellent biocompatibility, rich tunability, and wide applicability. Micro/nanoemulsions have shown great application results and increasing potential in various fields of pharmaceuticals, especially in drug delivery.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum to promote the development and biomedical applications of micro/nanoemulsions. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Potential topics include the following: novel stabilizers, types, and preparations of micro/nanoemulsions; mechanisms and factors governing the formation and stability of micro/nanoemulsions; achievements of micro/nanoemulsions in terms of enhanced drug delivery via various routes, e.g., oral, dermal, pulmonary, and parenteral administration; the in vivo fates of micro/nanoemulsions and factors affecting their fates; clinical dosage forms; and quality control. Other submissions that facilitate the development of micro/nanoemulsions are also welcome.
