Abstract: Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) are versatile colloidal carriers (1–1000 nm) that encapsulate or adsorb active agents within nanospheres or nanocapsules, enabling targeted delivery, controlled release, and enhanced bioavailability. This review synthesizes current production methods such as nanoprecipitation, emulsification–solvent evaporation, salting-out, dialysis, and supercritical fluid techniques highlighting their relative advantages for scalability, encapsulation efficiency, and payload stability. It surveys key characterization tools, including dynamic......
