There is need for non-toxic, biocompatible nanoparticles for
various applications in the field of nano-engineering. Reduction of
size to nano-scale is required to enhance material properties such
as bioavailability, drug release and dissolution kinetics.
Nanoscale particles are especially important for hydrophobic
substances due to their unacceptably slow dissolution kinetics in
aqueous gastrointestinal tract-type environments, which has
resulted in inefficient oral drug delivery. Dry media assisted
milling was optimized for two materials; a soft lipophilic drug,
fenofibrate and a relatively hard material, nanodiamond.
