Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Block Copolypeptoids – Micelles, Worms and Polymersomes
Polypeptoids are an old but recently rediscovered polymer class with interesting synthetic, physico-chemical and biological characteristics. Here, we introduce new aromatic monomers, N-benzyl glycine N-carboxyanhydride and N-phenethyl glycine N-carboxyanhydride and their block copolymers with the hydrophilic polysarcosine. We compare their self-assembly in water and aqueous buffer with the self...

متن کاملControlling Amphiphilic Functional Block Copolymers’ Self-Assembly: From Structure to Size
Nanostructure of self-assembled particles, such as micelles and polymersomes play an important role in drug delivery, especially in tumor therapy. Particles with various structures are regarded as perfect candidates for controlled drug delivery due to highly selective cellular uptake and exceptional payload that increases drug delivery efficiency [1-4]. Size, as another benefit that can be cont...

Polymeric micelles obtained from the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers are probably one of the most common drug delivery carriers among polymeric nanoparticles.1–4 The rise of highly controlled polymerization techniques, especially processes such as ATRP5 and RAFT,6 has led to an extraordinary surge of new types of block copolymers fit for biomedical applications. Facile control ove...
متن کاملAmphiphilic Block Copolymer Nano-micelles: Effect of Length Ratio of the Hydrophilic Block
Block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. In this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number...
