Novel ABA Triblock Copolymers with Pendant Carboxylic Acid Side Chain for Drug Delivery Systems

摘要

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the design of self-assembling polymeric nano-containers for drug delivery purposes. A variety of amphiphilic block copolymers have been studied. Although there has been much research on the use of polymeric materials for structural purposes, such as in drug delivery systems, biocompatible coatings and as matrices for reconstitution of biomolecules, there has been little attention paid to self-assembling polymeric membranes that incorporate functionality as an integral part of the membrane.
