Abstract

Micronization of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) by the supercritical fluid antisolvent precipitation (SAS) technique using supercritical carbon dioxide as an antisolvent was studied experimentally. The possibility of preparing particles of varying morphology (including hollow spheres) and specified size from 100 nm to 20 μm was demonstrated. The influence of different mechanisms of solid phase formation during SAS micronization on the size and morphology of PHB microparticles under different experimental conditions was considered.
