چکیده
Mixed micelles from copolymers in aqueous media have emerged as a valuable tool for producing functional polymer nanostructures with applications nanomedicine, including drug delivery and bioimaging. In this review, we discuss the basics of mixed copolymer micelles’ design, structure, physicochemical properties. We also focus on their utilization biomedical using examples recent literature.

Hollow flower micelles from a diblock copolymer.
A poly(2-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(2-(4-vinylphenyl)pyridine) (P2VP106-b-PVPPy95) coil-coil diblock copolymer forms hollow flower micelles in a mixed solvent of methanol and water (95/5, v/v) in a one step process. The geometry and composition of the micelles allow formation of a Pt-Au bimetallic dendritic nanocatalyst with a Pt leaf at room temperature.
متن کاملMulticompartmental Microcapsules from Star Copolymer Micelles
We present the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of amphiphilic heteroarm pH-sensitive star-shaped polystyrene-poly(2pyridine) (PSnP2VPn) block copolymers to fabricate porous and multicompartmental microcapsules. Pyridine-containing star molecules forming a hydrophobic core/hydrophilic corona unimolecular micelle in acidic solution (pH 3) were alternately deposited with oppositely charged linear su...
متن کاملFreezing-induced ordering of block copolymer micelles.
We demonstrate here the ordering of block copolymer micelles by ice templating, below 0 °C. We used this for the preparation of silica monoliths that present an ice-templated macroporosity, combined with a 2D hexagonal mesostructure templated by the addition of P123. We propose a mechanism triggered by the progressive freezing-induced concentration.
متن کاملSupracolloidal polymer chains of diblock copolymer micelles.
Directional attraction with lateral repulsion between colloidal nanoparticles can create their supracolloidal chains. Here, we demonstrate supracolloidal polymers of diblock copolymer micelles, which were polymerized by adjusting the polarity of the solvent. We also synthesized supracolloidal random and block copolymer chains.
متن کاملAmphiphilic Block Copolymer Micelles for Drug Delivery Vehicles
Amphiphilic block copolymer micelles have been the focus of research for the last decades because of the promising properties as nano size drug delivery vehicles. In polar aqueous milieu, copolymers self assemble into micelle structures which consist of hydrophilic corona and hydrophobic core regions. Space created inside the micelle core can be used for transportation of drug molecules of hydr...
