Polymeric micelles have gained interest as novel drug delivery systems for the treatment
and diagnosis of cancer, as they offer several advantages over conventional drug therapies …

Poorly soluble drugs often encounter low bioavailability and erratic absorption patterns in
the clinical setting. Due to the rising number of compounds having solubility issues, finding …

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 …

In selective solvents the solvophobic blocks of block copolymers associate leading to the
formation of aggregates. If exchange of polymer chains between aggregates is rapid the …

Multimolecular assemblies of block copolymers have received considerable attention from
both fundamental and applied standpoints. These assemblies are formed in selective …

Various attributes of micelles, such as PEG density and particle size, are considered to be
related to blood clearance. The structural stability of micelles is another key attribute that will …

Dynamics of Surfactant Self-Assemblies explains the dynamics of micellar equilibria,
tracking surfactant exchange, and micelle formation/breakdown processes. Highlighting the …

This review summarizes recent literature and some of our own results on aggregation
behavior on water-soluble block copolymers belonging to three different classes viz …

Self-assembly of block copolymers into interesting and useful nanostructures, in both
solution and bulk, is a vibrant research arena. While much attention has been paid to …

Micelles generally have a limited lifetime due to the continuous redistribution of the
component molecules, and knowledge of the time scales associated with this exchange …
