Well-ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 was synthesized and originally used as inert reservoir for SEDDS.
The solid SEDDS matrix well retained the self-emulsifying ability, formed a uniform O/W microemulsion when introduced to aqueous media.
The SEDDS matrix showed faster in vitro release rate than the raw powder and commercial capsule.
The bioavailability of solid SEDDS matrix was about 4-fold greater than that of commercial products.
