This study focuses on the preparation of Ni-plated polystyrene (PS) microspheres (diameter 3.7–4.5 μm). These Ni-plated PS microspheres have core–shell structures that were designed and prepared using ...

In this article, the authors describe a study into the factorial effect of selected process parameters on the pharmaceutical characteristics of poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres containing ...

Biomedical applications of microspheres in drug delivery and bone tissue engineering offer many advantages over other particle geometries. Microspheres can be made to have a uniform size and shape to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Colloidal crystals constructed by monodispersed microspheres packed in ordered arrays represent a new class of advanced materials that are useful in many areas. For example, due ...

Ordinary microscopes can see 8 times more minutely than known physical limits if miniature glass spheres are sprinkled onto samples, according to a new study. The cheapest and most common microscopes ...

Of the many fillers now available to composites manufacturers, microspheres, also called microballoons, are the most versatile. To the naked eye, the small, hollow spheres appear like fine powder.
