Table 3.

List of non-conventional techniques for liposomes’ fabrication.

Techniques Disadvantages Author (Year)
Supercritical reverse phase evaporation
  • (1)

    Semi-continuous processes, meaning that the process cannot be replicated at large scale, for example for the massive fabrication of liposomes for vaccine delivery

  • (2)

    Encapsulation Efficiency of drugs <60%. Higher than conventional methods, but still too low to obtain a large profitability from the process

  • (3)

    Low stability, i.e., vesicles are not stable over a long observation time

  • (4)

    Difficult control of particle size distribution linked to problems of replicability
