Supercritical carbon dioxide-based technologies for the production of drug nanoparticles/nanocrystals - A comprehensive review.

TL;DR: A comprehensive state‐of‐the‐art review on scCO2‐based processes focused on the formation and on the control of the physicochemical, structural and morphological properties of amorphous/crystalline pure drug nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of pure drug nanocrystals and nano co-crystals by confinement methods.

TL;DR: This review analyzes the processes for the preparation of nanocrystals and co‐crystals, divided by top‐down and bottom‐up approaches, together with their combinations and concludes that the combination of both strategies merges the favorable features of each process and avoids the disadvantages of single processes.
