Structure characterization of PLGA 75:25 microspheres obtained with increased polymer concentration, p < 0.05. The average diameters and porosity (%) were calculated based on SEM images with image analysis software ImageJ and weight ratios as depicted in Section 2.6.

Factor PLGA 75.25 Concentration (% w/v)
1% 3% 5%
Average diameter (μm) 91 ± 1 86 ± 2 87 ± 3
Average surface pore diameter (μm) 11 ± 3 10 ± 4 8 ± 3
Porosity (%) 83.7 71.3 68.4
