Polymersome macromolecule delivery across intact human skin

Pegoraro C., MacNeil S., Battaglia G., University of Sheffield, UK

Skin is a highly stratified and impermeable tissue that confers specific size, charge, hydrophilic and lipophilic constraints on the types of molecules that can diffuse across it. Here we report the use of a novel [...]

Polymersomes and Imaging: A Quantitative Approach

Joseph A.S., Brown N.J., Battaglia G., University of Sheffield, UK

Nano-sized carriers are widely used as imaging tools. Quantification of the amount of carrier delivered provides useful informations in development and testing stages. This work describes a HPLC method to quantify fluorescent labelled polymersomes. Polymersomes [...]

Colloido-Polymersomes: Capsules consisting of a composite layer of particles and polymer

Shum H.C., University of Hong Kong, HK

We present an approach to fabricate capsules consisting of a composite layer of particles and block copolymers . The capsules are fabricated by the directed assembly of block copolymers at the interfaces of a double [...]
