Nanoparticle-based delivery approaches have the potential to render
hydrophobic agents like propolis dispersible in aqueous media, thus
circumventing the pitfalls of poor solubility. We have synthesized a
polymeric nanoparticle-encapsulated formulation of propolis (propolis
nanofood) utilizing micellar aggregates of cross-linked and random
copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM) with N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone
(VP) and poly(ethyleneglycol) monoacrylate (PEG-A)…
