(3) The above-mentioned problems could be overcome using
microspheres as multiple-unit dosage forms.

microsphere and bland embolic bead products
This is because the prepared gel
microsphere is a kind of polymer composite
microsphere that has water absorption capability; thus, in the short soaking time, the water absorption ratio of the profile control agent increases gradually.

There are many polymerization methods for preparing PS
microspheres, such as precipitation polymerization, seed polymerization, microemulsion, and dispersion polymerization.
To overcome the disadvantages of the polymeric
microsphere, a novel core-shell
microsphere is developed as the next-generation profile control agent [26-29], which has a core-shell double-layered structure.
The plugging effect of the DCA
microsphere was evaluated using three layers of the heterogeneous artificial core.
The control group received vehicle (0.9% NaCl: 5% Cremophor; p.o.) and experimental groups received usnic acid (UA, 2000, 300, and 50 mg/kg; p.o.), poly-[epsilon]-caprolactone
microsphere polymers containing usnic acid (UA-micro, 2000 mg/kg; p.o.), or indomethacin (10 mg/kg; p.o.).
Nouryon is the leading producer of expandable
microspheres. The company recently announced that it would invest in a new world-scale Expancel plant in the US, subject to final board approval.
Preparation of Imprinted
Microspheres for Myoglobin.
Key statement: Self-sealing tire sealants are provided which contain fragments and/or residues of expanded solids, where the solids are selected from the group containing expandable graphite and
microspheres. In some aspects, the
microspheres include at least isobutane and/or isopentane as blowing agents.
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)
microspheres (particle size < 10 [micro]m) were chosen as model particles due to their poor flow properties.
