Purpose. To determine aortic endothelial cells permeation ability and mechanisms of the aqueous block copolymeric micelles, poly(ethylene oxide)-poly ((β-benzyl L-aspartate) (PEO-PBLA) chemically conjugated with...
Article
Purpose. To directly visualize and evaluate the aqueous block copolymeric micelles, poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(β-benzyl L-aspartate) (PEO-PBLA) chemically conjugated with pyrene fluorescence molecule, by nanotech...
Article
Purpose. To design glucose-responsive gels based on the complexation between polymers having phenylboronic acid groups and poly (vinyl alcohol). Specifically, high-glucose sensitivity at physiological pH was ach...
Article
The entrapment of Adriamycin (ADR) in micelles composed of AB block copolymers (poly(ethylene oxide-co-β-benzyl L-aspartate) (PEO-PBLA)) was investigated. The loading process involved transfer of ADR and PEO-P...
Article
Polymeric micelles have potential utility as drug carriers. To this end, polymeric micelles based on AB block copolymers of polyethylene oxide (PEG) and poly(aspartic acid) [p(Asp)] with covalently bound Adria...
Article
The micelle-forming behavior of a drug–block copolymer conjugate adriamycm-conjugated poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(aspartic acid) block copolymer; PEG-P[Asp(ADR)] was analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (G...
Article
Hydrogels have been used by many investigators in controlled-release drug delivery systems because of their good tissue compatibility and easy manipulation of swelling level and, thereby, solute permeability. ...
Article
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (NIPAAm)/polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were synthesized and their feasibility as thermosensitive hydrogels for drug release was inves...
Article
The swelling in water, as a function of temperature, of two series of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA Am) polymer networks was studied. In the first series, n-butylmethacrylate (BMA) was copolymerized with NIPA Am, a...
