Journal ArticleDOI
Thermally sensitive micelles self-assembled from poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-b-poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) for controlled delivery of paclitaxel
TL;DR: Thermally sensitive micelles self-assembled from poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co- N,N-dimethylacrylonitrile)-b-poly(d,l-lactide- co-glycolide)[P(NIPAAm- Co-DMAAm)- b-PLGA] are fabricated and used as a carrier for the controlled delivery of paclitaxel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular high-aspect ratio assemblies with strong antifungal activity
Kazuki Fukushima,Shaoqiong Liu,Hong Wu,Amanda C. Engler,Daniel J. Coady,Hareem Maune,Jed W. Pitera,Alshakim Nelson,Nikken Wiradharma,Shrinivas Venkataraman,Yuan Huang,Weimin Fan,Jackie Y. Ying,Yi Yan Yang,James L. Hedrick +14 more
TL;DR: Cationic small molecules that exhibit excellent microbial selectivity with minimal host toxicity are presented, and their specific molecular recognition motif (terephthalamide-bisurea) facilitates spontaneous supramolecular self-assembly manifesting in several polymer-like properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accessing New Materials through Polymerization and Modification of a Polycarbonate with a Pendant Activated Ester
Amanda C. Engler,Julian M. W. Chan,Daniel J. Coady,Jeannette M. O'Brien,Haritz Sardon,Haritz Sardon,Alshakim Nelson,Daniel P. Sanders,Yi Yan Yang,James L. Hedrick +9 more
TL;DR: The preparation of poly(MTC-OC6F5) provides a means of accessing a wide range of functional polycarbonates with minimal synthetic steps and provides a simple and versatile platform for the synthesis of new and innovative materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermally responsive polymeric micellar nanoparticles self-assembled from cholesteryl end-capped random poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N-dimethylacrylamide): synthesis, temperature-sensitivity, and morphologies.
TL;DR: The temperature sensitivity and unusual morphology of these novel polymeric nanoparticles would make an interesting drug delivery system.
Journal ArticleDOI
