Controlling the Morphology of Poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactide) Self-Assemblies in Solution: Interplay of Homopolymer Additives and Kinetic Traps

Controlling the Morphology of Poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactide) Self-Assemblies in Solution: Interplay of Homopolymer Additives and Kinetic Traps

This study investigates the effects of homopolymer additives and kinetic traps on the self-assembly of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactide) (PEG-PLA) block copolymer (BCP) nanostructures in aqueous environments. By using non-adsorbing PEG homopolymers to kinetically trap PEG-PLA nanostructures, we...
