Polymer nanoparticles. (a) Nanocapsule: active ingredients dissolved in the matrix core and (b) Nanospheres: active ingredients dissolved throughout the polymer matrix. In the nanocapsules, the active substance is in the nucleus and is surrounded by a polymeric membrane. In the nanosphere, the active substance is dispersed in the polymeric matrix, and therefore it does not have a defined nucleus.
