Our researchers contribute an article to the new book of PLA

“New Developments in Polylactic Acid Research” published by Nova Science Publishers.

This book discusses new developments in the research of polylactic acid (PLA). PLGA(Poly Lactic-co Glycolic acid) is also introduced in the book.

Hosokawa Micron Corporation has succeeded in capsulizing the active ingredients to the PLGA nanospheres and producing the highly effective powder for cosmetics. This biocompatible carrier allow the active ingredients to deliver deep into the skin under stable conditions.The one chapter introduces PLGA nanosphere and the related technologies. Emeritus professor Y. Kawashima (Aichi Gakuin University, School of Pharamcy) contributes one chapter according to a strong request by the editors. Kawashima is the principal author and he called four researchers as coauthors. Two famous researchers, Prof. M. Yamamoto (Aichi Gakuin University, School of Pharamcy), Emeritus professor N. Miwa (Prefectural University of Hiroshima) and our two researchers, Dr. H. Tsujimoto (President of Hosokawa Micron Cosmetic Co.) and Mr. Y. Tsukada (Material Business Division, Pharmaceutical and Beauty Science Research Center) contribute the chapter.

The chapter is,

CHAPTER 6 : PLGA Nanosphere Platform for Nanomedical System (pp. 153-182)
