Drug Delivery in the lungs | 5.1 Electrostatics Repulsive Force (Space Charge)

In the last class, we delved into the fascinating world of electrostatic phenomena. Due to the high surface area-to-volume ratio, small particles are highly susceptible to electrostatic forces.
In this part, we explored the impact of high charge density in a dense environment, specifically how electrostatic particle-particle interactions affect deposition in the lungs compared to other mechanisms.
In the second part of the class, we will continue to the most important aspect: particle-tissue interactions.
Good luck and enjoy!
