Size-Controlled Nanomicelles of Poly(lactic acid)–Poly(ethylene glycol) Copolymers with a Multiblock Configuration

Size-Controlled Nanomicelles of Poly(lactic acid)–Poly(ethylene glycol) Copolymers with a Multiblock Configuration

The ability to control the micelle size of poly(lactic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA–PEG) block copolymers is important for controlling their circulation in blood cell recognition, drug release and therapeutic effects. We successfully controlled the micelle size by changing the block number o...
