Optimizing Delivery Characteristics of Curcumin as a Model Drug via Tailoring Mean Diameter Ranges of Cellulose Beads

Figure 2

Effect of fabrication parameters on the mean diameter of μCBs, (a) stirring speed (250–1250 rpm), (b) surfactant (Span 80) concentration (0.5–6.0% w/v), (c) cellulose concentration (1–5% w/v), and (d) reaction temperature (30–100°C). Note: other synthesis parameters were being fixed as applicable (3% w/v cellulose solution; 2% w/v Span 80; stirring speed 1000 rpm; 30°C).
