To gain mechanistic insights into drug loading and lyophilization of polymeric micelles. PEGylated poly-4-(vinylpyridine) micelles were loaded with dexamethasone. Three different methods were applied and compared: O/W emulsion, direct dialysis, cosolvent evaporation. Micellar dispersions with the highest drug load were

We report here a novel protein sequestration method using polymeric colloidal particles prepared by emulsion polymerization with reactive block copolymers. Specifically, poly(4-vinyl-N-ethylpyridine bromide)-block-polymethylacrylate block copolymers were synthesized from reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and used as emulsifiers for emulsion polymerization
