Antitumor properties of irinotecan-containing nanoparticles prepared using poly(DL-lactic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol).

Study of Surface Tension of Binary Mixtures of Poly (Ethylene Glycol) in Water and Poly (Propylene Glycol) in Ethanol and its Modeling Using Neural Network

Docetaxel-Loaded Mixed Micelles and Polymersomes Composed of Poly (caprolactone)-Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG-PCL) and Poly (lactic acid)-Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG-PLA): Preparation and In-Vitro Characterization

Microwave irradiation was used to synthesize PEG-PCL and PEG-PLA copolymers that are composed of biodegradable polymers including PEG, PLA, and PCL. These copolymers were used for loading docetaxel in nanoparticles. Single emulsion-solvent evaporation technique was applied for preparing the PEG-PLA and PEG-PCL mixed nanoparticles (micelles and polymersomes) with different proportions, including...

Effect of different mass ratio of PLA: PEG segments in PLA-PEG-PLA copolymers on the physicochemical characterization and DNA release profile

Background: Adapting controlled release technologies to the delivery of DNA has the great potential to overcome extracellular barriers that limit gene delivery. This study investigates the effect of different mass ratio of PLA: PEG in the various tri block poly (lactic acid)-poly (ethylene glycol) - Poly (lactic acid) copolymer (PLA-PEG-PLA) on the properties of the resulting nanoparticles. Me...

Effect of Ethylene Oxide Functional Groups in PEBA-CNT Membranes on CO2/CH4 Mixed Gas Separation

Poly (ether-block-amide) /poly (ethylene glycol)/ carbon nanotubes mixed matrix membranes have been successfully fabricated using solvent evaporation method to determine the effect of ethylene oxide groups on the performance of produced membranes. The effects of CNTs (2-8 wt%) and PEG (up to 50 wt%)were investigated in both single and mixed gas test setup in different temperature and pressure. ...
