Nanosized particles have attractive characteristics, which have received considerable attention in the last decade. Polymeric nanoparticles (PNP)s are solid particles or particulate dispersions with size in the range of 10-1000 nm. Due to the very small size, the surface area is very large so the percentage of atoms o…
