| abstract |
This invention relates to crosslinked protein nanoparticles and a method for producing the same. Said method comprises the preparation and nanonization (i.e., size reduction to the nanoscale) of protein nanoparticle precursor materials - i.e., crosslinked proteins of the micron or greater size - via mechanical or hydrodynamic shear, mechanical crushing, sonic cavitation and/or hydrodynamic cavitation. |
