The effects of four sugars (glucose, saccharose, maltose, trehalose) and one surfactant (Poloxamer 188), on the freeze-drying of poly(isobutylcyanoacrylate) (PIBCA), poly(epsilon-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PCL-PEG), and novel core (mainly PIBCA)-shell (principally PEG) composite nanoparticles (CNP) obtained by co-precipitation were investigated. The efficiency of the additives against the adverse effect of freeze-drying on the redispersibility of the nanoparticles was evaluated, based on the visual appearance of the nanoparticle suspensions (Tyndall effect and aggregation), and on the determination of the mean diameter ratio of the nanoparticles before and after freeze-drying. The results indicated that the addition of both sugars and surfactant was essential for the good redispersion of freeze-dried nanoparticles displaying hydrophobic (PIBCA) or hydrophilic (PCL-PEG and CNP) surfaces.
