pH-responsive polymeric micelles with core–shell–corona architectures as intracellular anti-cancer drug carriers

Polymeric micelles with core–shell–corona nanoarchitecture were designed for intracellular therapeutic anti-cancer drug carriers. Poly(styrene-b-acrylic acid-b-ethylene glycol) (PS-b-PAA-b-PEG) asymmetric triblock copolymer underwent self-assembly in aqueous solution to form spherical micelles with...
