Poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide )-poly (ethylene oxide) block copolymer surfactants in aqueous solutions and at interfaces: thermodynamics, structure, dynamics, and modeling
TL;DR: In this article, the association properties of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propyleneoxide)-blockpoly(methylene oxide) (PEO) copolymers in aqueous solutions, and the adsorption at interfaces are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pluronic® block copolymers as novel polymer therapeutics for drug and gene delivery
TL;DR: The interactions of the Pluronic unimers with multidrug-resistant cancer cells result in sensitization of these cells with respect to various anticancer agents and the single molecular chains of copolymer, unimers, inhibit drug efflux transporters in both the blood-brain barrier and in the small intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano-engineering block copolymer aggregates for drug delivery
TL;DR: The key performance related properties the authors discuss are loading capacity, release kinetics, circulation time, biodistribution, size, size distribution and stability, to allow the reader to tailor-make block copolymer micelles for a particular application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymeric micelles - a new generation of colloidal drug carriers.
TL;DR: This review examines the chemical nature of polymeric micelles as well as the methods used to characterize them with regard to drug delivery and potential medical applications, especially in cancer chemotherapy, are described and discussed.

Multiple Morphologies and Characteristics of “Crew-Cut” Micelle-like Aggregates of Polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) Diblock Copolymers in Aqueous Solutions
Lifeng Zhang and,Adi Eisenberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the insoluble block (PS) contents in the copolymers ranged from 80 to 98 wt % and the micelle cores, formed by aggregation of the PS blocks, were generally monodisperse.
