Alginate/chitosan/alginate (ACA) hydrogel microcapsules were modified with methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) to improve protein repellency and biocompatibility. Increased MPEG surface graft density (n(S)) on hydrogel microcapsules was achieved by controlling the grafting parameters including the buffer layer substrate, membrane thickness

The microcosmic mechanisms of protein (recombinant human growth hormone, rhGH) incomplete release and stability from amphiphilic poly(monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-co-D,L-lactide) (mPEG-PLA, PELA) microspheres were investigated. PELA with different hydrophilicities (PELA-1, PELA-2, and PELA-3) based on various ratios of mPEG to PLA were

To promote the application of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-cholesterol (mPEG-Chol), mPEG-Chol was used to prepare core-shell micelles encapsulating poorly water-soluble docetaxel (DTX-PM) by modified cosolvent evaporation method. Approaches to enhance DTX entrapment efficiency (EE) and minimize particle size were investigated in

A functionalized poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) nanocarrier was designed and prepared to deliver anticancer drugs. The nanocarrier is a copolymer with a core-shell structure with 3.0 G PAMAM as the core and sequentially conjugated poly(2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (pDEA) and methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) 2000 (mPEG)
