A REVIEW ON FEATURES OF POLYMER COLLOIDS AND MICROSPHERES Authors: Abhishek S , DEEKSHA A AND DUA J S*
ABSTRACT
Functional polymer microsphere needed different features of polymer colloids such as small
size & volume, strong flexibity & agility, uniformity & variety. Functional polymer
microsphere exhibits some important medicinal pharmaceutical applications such as
Immunoassay and affinity-diagnosis, DNA diagnosis, blood flow measurement, embolization
& phagocytosis. There are a few polymer molecules which have a drug feature, but in most
instances, when polymers are used in drug delivery systems, they act as drug carrier.
Polymeric materials are expected to make a major contribution to the drug delivery systems
(DDS) for the subsequent reasons: the large size of the molecules allowing them to remain
for a long time at the shipped site; drugs can be released gradually or in a regulated manner
by carrier-polymer diffusion, or by the degradation of the carrier itself; and in addition to
drugs, the carrier polymer can be combined with functional components to target the drugs or
to monitor the release rate.
