Block copolymers spontaneously assemble into nanoscaled polymeric micelles, which have
significant potential as drug carriers. Following much work in related fields over the last …

Micelles formed through the self-assembly of block copolymers have been widely used to
encapsulate highly hydrophobic drugs to increase their effective solubility. However, this …

Mixed micelles self-assembled from two or more dissimilar block copolymers provide a
direct and convenient approach to improve physical stability and enhance drug loading …

Advances in block copolymer syntheses have led to polymeric micelles that may serve as
nanoscopic drug carriers. For drug delivery, micelles were prepared from biocompatible and …

Recently, colloidal carrier systems have been receiving much attention in the field of drug
targeting because of their high loading capacity for drugs as well as their unique disposition …

Polymeric micelles are demonstrating high potential as nanomedicines capable of
controlling the distribution and function of loaded bioactive agents in the body, effectively …

Block copolymer micelles are generally formed by the self-assembly of either amphiphilic or
oppositely charged copolymers in aqueous medium. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic …

This review describes the design of polymeric micelles from block copolymers and their
performances as nano-scale drug delivery systems, with emphasis on our recent work. The …

Amphiphilic block copolymers are well established as building blocks for the preparation of
micellar drug carriers. Over the past decade, the effectiveness of such self-assembled drug …

Polymeric micelles, self-assemblies of block copolymers, are promising nanocarrier systems
for drug and gene delivery. Until now, several micellar formulations of antitumor drugs have …
