Abstract:
A process for preparing poly(lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer particles with an average particle size in the range of 50-800 nm includes transferring a mixture of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer, ethanol and carbon dioxide from a first reactor into a second reactor under rapid reduction of the pressure and expansion with phase separation into a gas phase, an ethanol aerosol and an ethanolic suspension containing poly(lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer particles, removing the carbon dioxide gas and the ethanol aerosol from the second reactor, and obtaining the poly(glycolide-co-lactide) copolymer particles in the form of an ethanolic suspension or in dry form from the second reactor.

Claim (Index 7):
The process according to  claim 6 , wherein\n the addition of the mixture of ethanol and carbon dioxide in supercritical stage to the first reactor and the simultaneous transfer of the mixture from step d) into the second reactor in step e) is continued until the poly(lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer was dissolved to an amount of at least 98% and discharged to the second reactor in step e) followed by steps f) and g).
