What Types of Smart Packaging Technologies are Being Developed?
Several types of smart packaging technologies are currently under development:
1. Nanoparticles: These tiny particles can be engineered to carry drugs and release them in response to specific triggers. 2. Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles that can encapsulate drugs, protecting them from degradation and allowing for targeted delivery. 3. Hydrogels: These water-based gels can be used for localized drug delivery and can be designed to release drugs over a prolonged period.
