Enhanced stability of core-surface cross-linked micelles fabricated from amphiphilic brush copolymers.
"Stealth" nanoparticles made from polymer micelles have been widely explored as drug carriers for targeted drug delivery. High stability (i.e., low critical micelle concentration (CMC)) is required for their intravenous applications. Herein, we present a "core-surface cross-linking" concept to greatly enhance nanoparticle's stability: amphiphilic brush copolymers form core-surface cross-linked ...
متن کاملRandom networks of cross-linked directed polymers.
We explore the effect of random permanent cross-links on a system of directed polymers confined between two planes with their end points free to slide on them. We treat the cross-links as quenched disorder and we use a semimicroscopic replica field theory to study the structure and elasticity of this system. Upon increasing the cross-link density, we get a continuous gelation transition signale...
متن کاملElasticity of highly cross-linked random networks
– Starting from a microscopic model of randomly cross-linked particles with quenched disorder, we calculate the Laudau-Wilson free energy S for arbitrary cross-link densities. Considering pure shear deformations, S takes the form of the elastic energy of an isotropic amorphous solid state, from which the shear modulus can be identified. It is found to be an universal quantity, not depending on ...
متن کاملRandom hydrophilic-hydrophobic copolymers
We study a single statistical amphiphilic copolymer chain AB in a selective solvent (e.g. water). Two situations are considered. In the annealed case, hydrophilic (A) and hydrophobic (B) monomers are at local chemical equilibrium and both the fraction of A monomers and their location along the chain can vary, whereas in the quenched case (which is relevant to proteins), the chemical sequence al...
متن کاملHydrophobic modification for nanoscale cross-linked polymer microspheres
The properties of nanoparticles, however, are not only dependent on their size and shape, but also are determined by surface modification. As a novel in-depth profile control agent, nanoscale water-soluble cross-linked polyacrylamide microsphere has better compatibility, sealing and oil property. To improve the salt tolerances and shearing resistance, hydrophobic monomer is introduced to invers...
