Synthesis and applications of polymer cubosomes and hexosomes

The synthesis and use of polymer cubosomes have received significant attention in recent years. Polymer are highly stable colloidal particles with triply periodic minimal surface. Inherently, several advantages over other nanostructures like micelles vesicles as they quite uniform porous structures. Due to the large specific surface area interior bicontinuous nature, capacity load amounts hydrophobic hydrophilic substances. Additionally, their properties make them suitable for nanotemplates, catalyst supports, nanovehicles separation regulated release biomolecules. Regarding synthesis, block copolymers that may form still few number, part because different require various self-assembly conditions. In order create cubosomes, five techniques been reported, including co-solvent method, flash nanoprecipitation, evaporation-induced self-assembly, solvent-diffusion-evaporation-mediated polymerization-induced self-assembly. This review article describes synthetic creating goes into further depth on uses cubosomes. It is anticipated this offer some helpful guidance researchers interested applications
