dc.description.abstract | The self-aggregation properties such as micelle formation, size and shape of the micelle in aqueous environment and the thermal properties of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) micelles at different chain length of the hydrophobic PLLA block were investigated. The relationship of the chemical structure with the self-aggregation properties of these copolymers was also discussed. The dye absorption technique by means of fluorescence spectrophotometry using pyrene as a probe was used to observe critical micelle concentration (CMC) and micelle thermo-responsive for PEG-PLLA copolymer. The results show that an increase in molecular weight of the hydrophobic block decreases the CMC. | |
