Abstract
Porous particles with controllable surface and internal morphologies were successfully prepared by a "one-step mechanical emulsification" technique via the control of spontaneous emulsification where self-emulsification is followed by mechanical emulsification. The morphological changes in the porous particles were determined not by the preparation conditions of the water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) emulsion but by the proportion of solvents that favors the stabilization of the spontaneously prepared water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion droplets acting as porogens. The proposed method for controlling the morphology of the porous particles could be applied to all particle-preparation systems based on emulsion-solvent evaporation using organic solvents. The methodology for the morphological control of porous particles independent of the concentration or composition of the polymer is considered valuable for future investigations into the aerodynamic performance and drug-release behavior of biomedical porous particles with complex shapes.Funding Information
