Polymer micelles as drug carriers

Block copolymer micelles are composed of polymer chains with sequences of hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks. In a dilute aqueous solution, they form spherical or cylindrical nano-objects comprised of

Degradation versus self-assembly of block copolymer micelles

A. Muratov and V. A. Baulin Langmuir, 28, 3071-3076 (2012) The stability of micelles self-assembled from block co-polymers can be altered by the degradation of the blocks. Slow degradation shifts the
