Drexel develops ‘crystalsome’ polymer for improved intravenous drug delivery

Abstract In water, amphiphilic block copolymers (BCPs) can self-assemble into various micelle structures depicting curved liquid/liquid interface. Crystallization, which is incommensurate with this curved space, often leads to defect accumulation and renders the structures leaky, undermining their potential biomedical applications. Herein we report using an emulsion-solution crystallization method to control the crystallization of an amphiphilic … Continue reading Drexel develops ‘crystalsome’ polymer for improved intravenous drug delivery
