Ethyl cellulose is a water-insoluble hydrophobic biopolymer. Due to its excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, it is widely used for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
Application
Ethyl cellulose can be used as a precursor to prepare ink formulations for inkjet printing of flexible electronics. It acts as an effective polymer stabilizer.

The phytochemical curcumin possesses antioxidant activity; however, it becomes unstable after being exposed to light or heat or loses activity during storage. This is especially important when curcumin is applied to the skin within a cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulation, since
To investigate a new microfluidic method for the continuous preparation of hollow-shell nanoparticles of a hydrophobic polymer and the simultaneous encapsulation within these of a hydrophilic active pharmaceutical ingredient. A specially designed and constructed microfluidic device which facilitates at a
