Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is well known for their biodegradability and bioresorbable properties and these properties made them suitable in drug delivery system as drug carriers. PLA is relatively hydrophobic and lack of cell-recognition group to interact with biologically active molecules which reduce the surface compatibility of microspheres. In this project, alkaline hydrolysis was used to induce hydrophilic functional group on the microspheres surface. Alkaline solution at 0.01M and 0.1M was used to modify microspheres surfaces. The engineered surfaces were evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Water Contact Angle. 0.1M alkaline solution hydrolyzed microspheres at higher extends as compared to 0.01M, where partial microspheres disintegrated and porous structure was revealed. The water contact angle of PLA films shows decreased from 65 ̊ to range 42 47 ̊ after alkaline hydrolysis.

Apatite nuclei were synthesized by raising pH of simulated body fluid (SBF). Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres were soaked in apatite nuclei suspension, and then apatite nuclei were attached to surfaces of the PLA microspheres. When these PLA microspheres were soaked in SBF, apatite nuclei on the PLA microspheres induced HAp. As a result, PLA microspheres coated with HAp were fabricated. The HAp-coated PLA microspheres were soaked in acetone. The PLA core was dissolved out, and then consequently hollow microcapsules constructed of HAp were fabricated. As HAp microcapsules have properties of bioaffinity and non-toxicity, they were expected to be applicable to an excellent carrier of drug delivery system.
