The study of size effects on the cytotoxicity of poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide acid) (PLGA) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles was reported in this thesis. The main objective of this study is to investigate how particle size can influence the cytotoxicity of PLGA and TiO2 nanoparticles, and t...
