Paclitaxel Conjugate Block Copolymer Nanoparticle Formation by Flash NanoPrecipitation

Saad W.S., Mayer L., Princeton University, US

Nanoparticle formulations of drugs, printing inks, sun screens, and other hydrophobic organic compounds have distinct advantages in bioavailability, color intensity, and aesthetics. Common requirements of these applications are control of particle size and surface functionality. [...]

Hydrodynamically Driven Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers Studied by On-Line Small Angle X-Ray Scattering

Panine P., European Synchrotron Radiation Facility E.S.R.F., FR

A new technique of controlling the supramolecular structure of block copolymer solutions is presented. It consists in monitoring by small angle x-ray scattering the large-scale structure of soft condensed matter and simultaneously recording its rheological [...]
