a

Size in nm was measured by Zetasizer.

b

Zeta potential in mV was measured by Zetasizer.

c

Polydispersity Index was measured by Zetasizer.

Entrapment efficiency of different drugs were measured by HPLC.

Size was measured by DLS using a Zetasizer. The surface charge was also measured by Zetasizer.
