The 2 types of polymeric nanocarriers—nanosphere and nanocapsule—are depicted in the diagram. A polymeric shell that regulates the drug's release profile from the core of the nanocapsule surrounds an oily core, typically where the medication dissolves. Using a continuous polymeric network as its foundation, nanospheres allow the medicine to either be maintained inside or adsorbed onto its surface.
