Polyacrylic nanoparticles have been prepared to investigate their use as colloidal drug carriers, and surface area measurements were used for characterization [14], When the experimental surface area values were compared with calculated values, it was found that the measured surface area value was 10 times smaller than the calculated value. The discrepancy was explained by the surfactant used in the nanoparticle preparation. The surfactant appears to coat the particles when it is not completely removed, resulting in the low surface areas observed for the particles. Particles prepared without surfactant showed good agreement with the calculated values.
