Optimization of NP coating on angioplasty balloons. LbL coatings (A) and hydrogel coatings (B) displayed incubation time-dependent NP coating efficiency, where the coating reached a saturation within 24 hours. LbL coatings (C) and hydrogel coatings (D) observed a concentration-dependent increase in NP coating efficiency, with UPE NPs showing higher coating efficiency compared to those of BPLP-PLGA and PLGA NPs. Additionally, the coating reached saturation at a NP concentration of 500 μg/mL for the hydrogel coatings. n=3 replicates were used for these studies.
