Fabrication and characterization of novel microneedles made of a polystyrene solution.

Nowadays, microneedles are attracting a lot of attention because microneedles can deliver drugs, vaccines and hormones into the body without pain unlike conventional hypodermic needles. Furthermore, microneedles are safe for self-injection and disposal. This work aims to develop novel microneedles made of a solution of polystyrene (PS) in toluene.
