In this review, we provide an analysis of some of the recent literature reports on the
synthesis and applications of pH-responsive polymers. Depending on the solution pH, such …

Biological barriers to drug transport prevent successful accumulation of nanotherapeutics
specifically at diseased sites, limiting efficacious responses in disease processes ranging …

In the past decades, polymeric nanoparticles have emerged as a most promising and viable
technology platform for targeted and controlled drug delivery. As vehicles, ideal …

The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

Medical diagnosis and therapy are essential for providing patients with proper care,
although inefficient diagnosis and therapy are usually associated with either improper …

Polymeric nanoparticles-based therapeutics show great promise in the treatment of a wide
range of diseases, due to the flexibility in which their structures can be modified, with …

Polymeric micelles (PM) are extensively used to improve the delivery of hydrophobic drugs.
Many different PM have been designed and evaluated over the years, and some of them …

Recent advances in polymer synthesis have significantly enhanced the ability to rationally
design block copolymers with tailored functionality. The self‐assembly of these …

Degradable polymers (both biomacromolecules and several synthetic polymers) for
biomedical applications have been promising very much in the recent past due to their low …

Polymers that start degrading under acidic conditions are increasingly investigated as a
pathway to trigger the release of drugs once the drug carrier reached the slightly acidic …
