Investigating key factors in the phase separation step of microspheres fabrication via coacervation

Coacervation, a common method for microspheres preparation, has not been given sufficient attention and study. This study aims to clarify the key factors in the phase separation step. Firstly, based on the thermodynamics of polymer solutions, the phase equilibrium time, binodal line, and the relationship between the concentration of lactic-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) in the coacervate phase (C
