Background: Poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) based biodegradable nanoparticles are of key interest for the development of controlled release drug delivery systems and for other biomedical applications. It has been reported that PLGA polymers can be converted into colloidal nanoparticulate systems by various techniques, such as emulsification-diffusion, emulsificationevaporation, interfacial deposition, salting out, dialysis and nanoprecipitation. Emulsificationevaporation with water immiscible solvents including dichloromethane and chloroform has been the preferred method for the synthesis of PLGA nanoparticles due to the low boiling point and limited water solubility of these solvents. We and others, however, have found that when water-immiscible solvents are used for the synthesis of PLGA nanoparticles, particle aggregation, non-uniform particle size and multimodal size distribution are commonly encountered problems. This suggests that the synthesis of PLGA nanoparticles using water immiscible solvents is highly sensitive to small procedural variations that affect overall reproducibility. Objective: This study presents a simple and robust procedure for the preparation of PLGA nanoparticles with very small batch to batch variability (<5% variability in size (z-average) as determined by dynamic light scattering). Results: The results showed that the emulsification solvent diffusion method teamed with partially water-miscible solvents, such as ethyl acetate, is a versatile approach for the preparation of PLGA nanoparticles with highly reproducible sizes (between 50 and 400 nm) and zeta potentials (between - 30 and +30 mV), with relatively narrow polydispersity. Conclusion: Emulsification-diffusion with ethyl acetate is, therefore, a more reliable alternative to several existing procedures for the reproducible and refined synthesis of PLGA nanoparticles.

The design and modeling of a highly sensitive sensor based on a slot photonic crystal waveguide (slot-PCWG) is presented. The structure consists of cylindrical air rods drilled in a dielectric slab on a triangular lattice, which are filled with SiO2. The waveguide is formed by removing elements from the regular photonic crystal grid in a row, and embedding a slot in the center position. This concept allows for a vast enhancement of the evanescent field ratio, leading to a strong overlap between the field of the waveguide mode and the analyte. In the present work, we show that the sensitivity at the constant slab thickness of the slot-PCWG modes is greatly enhanced, up to a factor of 7.6 compared with the corresponding PCWG modes or Si-slab WGs. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique and plane wave expansion (PWE) methods were used to study the dispersion and profile of the PCWG mode. The simulation results show the potential of this design, which will be fabricated and tested in the following steps of the project.
