Research progress on polymersomes as drug delivery system / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Polymersomes have attracted tremendous attention as novel drug delivery systems because of their unique and superior structure,tunable membrane properties,colloidal stability,and ability in encapsulating a broad range of both water soluble and insoluble substances.In this paper,preparation method and criteria for the formation of polymersomes,their structure and characterization as well as amphiphilic block copolymers for vesicle formation are addressed.Moreover,research progress on polymersomes as drug delivery system in the field of therapeutic and diagnostic applications are reviewed in this paper.
