Polystyrene
Microspheres are used for studying sustained
delivery of therapeutic agents. Microspheres are manufactured from various
natural and synthetic materials. Glass microspheres, polymer microspheres as
well as ceramic microspheres are commercially available.
Recent researchers have
stated that the discovery of active Polystyrene
microparticles is used in the treatment of cancers. Microspheres are a
term used for small particles, with diameters in the micrometer range.
Microspheres are also sometimes referred as microparticles.
It can be manufactured
from various natural and synthetic materials. Microspheres are obtainable in
three forms:
- Glass microspheres
- Polymer microspheres
- Ceramic microspheres

Solid and hollow
microspheres differ a lot in density and therefore, are used for diverse
applications. Hollow microspheres are usually used as additives to lower the
density of a substance. Solid microspheres have numerous applications depending
on Life Science. Microspheres widely vary in quality, sphericity, uniformity,
and particle size as well as particle size distribution. A proper microsphere
needs to be chosen for each unique application.
Polyethylene as well as
polystyrene microspheres are two most common types of polymer microspheres.
Polystyrene microspheres are usually used in biomedical applications due to
their aptitude to facilitate procedures such as cell sorting and immunio precipitation.
Proteins as well as ligands absorb onto polystyrene readily and eternally or
temporary filler. Lower melting temperatures enable polyethylene microspheres
to generate porous structures in ceramics and other substances. High sphericity
of polyethylene microparticles as well as accessibility of colored and
fluroscent microspheres makes them highly enviable for flow visualization and
fluid flow analysis and many other research applications.
