Abstract :

Encapsulation is a crucial strategy in several aspects of Pharmaceutical development. This can be approached from both material and processing aspects and lends to controlled release, material safeguarding and providing several engineering benefits. This talk will look at encapsulation technologies from a processing perspective; specifically focusing on electrical encapsulation methods. An overview of the underlying process will be provided and examples of how such principles can be modulated to match emerging technologies (e.g. nanoparticles, 3D printing fibrous delivery systems) will be shown. Furthermore, the talk will also discuss briefly developments in the field and the emerging roles of industry for such technologies.
