There may be a relationship between the number of NP layers and the uniformity of the coating, but further investigation is needed to confirm this. Fluorescence intensity appears to be a strong predictor of drug loading on DCBs coated with quercetin-entrapped NPs, demonstrating that fluorescent imaging may be a viable alternative to drug release studies.
