“…Depending on side group length and its end group, the synthesized poly(oligoethylene glycol methacrylate) (POEGMA) polymers can be either water-soluble, thermoresponsive or insoluble in water. 10,[45][46][47][48][49] In this study, previously synthesized star copolymers, containing a crosslinked poly(hydroxy propyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (P(HPMA-co-EGDMA)) copolymer core and POEGMA arms of varying numbers and lengths, 50 were utilized for investigating the encapsulation of rhodamine B, resveratrol, or curcumin. The objective of this study is to utilize these three agents, characterized by different degrees of hydrophilicity, to investigate their potential interactions with OH groups of poly(hydroxy propyl methacrylate) (PHPMA) core, to study the stability of stars carriers and evaluate their potential as stable nanoplatforms for a wide range of nanomedical applications.…”
