Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Microencapsulation focuses on the development and evaluation of various nanocarrier systems for drug delivery and functional applications. Research includes the use of exosomes, microcapsules, nanoparticles, liposomes, and nanoemulsions to improve the stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents and active compounds. Studies also investigate encapsulation efficiencies, drug release profiles, and the physicochemical properties of these delivery systems for applications in medicine, functional foods, and skincare.
