Swelling of biodegradable polymers for the production of nanocapsules and films with the incorporation of essential oils

Many researchers work with essential oils for several applications, such as their impregnation in polymeric films and for obtaining micro-/nanocapsules by using polymers as shell material. Polymer swelling/liquid dissolution is an extremely important property for controlled release of essential oils. Therefore, this work proposes a comparative study of swelling/dissolution interaction of polymer films immersed in different essential oils. Six...
