Abstract(s)

The aim of the present work was to compare the toxicity of relevant biomedical acrylic based particulate systems (polymethylmethacrylate – PMMA), with different charges, within the same size range (500nm). Specifically, PMMA (negatively charged) and PMMA-Eudragit (positively charged) formulations were considered.
