- Oct. 21, 2019New way to wrap liquid drops could improve drug delivery
Researchers have developed a faster, cheaper way to coat liquid medication, an invention that could improve how drugs are delivered in the body.
The new encapsulation technology, developed by engineers at the University of Waterloo, uses gravity and other natural forces to wrap drops as they fall through a thin layer of liquid shell floating on a base liquid.
Once hardened, or cured, by exposure to ultraviolet light, the shell houses and protects the liquid core inside.
