Drug delivery with nanopartides

Polymer nanopartides have been widely used for drug delivery and implantable materials. They can be made into nanosheUs for drug encapsulation, and hydrophilic and hydrophobic for the expected biocompatibility. Their diameter ranges from 10 to 100 nm. The first nanopartides were reported in 1976 with protein molecules entrapped inside 80 nm hydrophilic polymers. 

Functional PPE with thiol side groups can be used for the stabilization of nanopartides, which potentially overcome the shortage of MNPs in drug delivery. A triblock copolymer of PCL-l7-poly((2,4-dinitrophenyl)thioethyl ethylene...
