Preparation of hemolysate-loaded poly(N alpha, N epsilon-L-lysinediylterephthaloyl) nanocapsules.

Poly(N alpha, N epsilon-L-lysinediylterephthaloyl) capsules containing hemolysate were prepared in the nanometer range by an interfacial polymerization technique using electrocapillary emulsification to obtain very fine hemolysate droplets for encapsulation. The effects of temperature, emulsifier concentration, and the applied potential on the size distribution of the polyamide capsules were investigated. The polyamide capsules prepared under proper conditions have an average diameter of approximately 500 nm.
