Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticles are promising carriers that allow for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs and have the potential to achieve sustained drug release or targeted delivery to the site of interest. Here we describe the preparation of solid lipid nanoparticles by forming a microemulsion at an elevated temperature which, upon cooling, yields a suspension of solid nanoparticles. This nanotemplate engineering method is inexpensive, reproducible, and easy to scale up.
