Techniques To Control Polymersome Size

Abstract: Polymersomes as synthetic analogues of liposomes appear frequently in relevant literature as promising candidates for a wide range of different applications including drug delivery, theranostic multitools, and nanoreactors. In particular, as nanotransporters for nanomedical applications in vivo, requirements concerning the reproducible manufacturing and reliable size control are extremely high. This Perspective highlights the importance of size control especially in the context of nanomedicine and gives an ove… Show more

“…The multidispersity of diameter and wall thickness distribution might be resulted from the vesicle preparation method we employed. 34 The formation of membranous vesicles is contributed not only by the intrinsic amphiphilicity of PGlu, but also by the particular co-solvent environment.…”

“…42 Desse modo, tem sido aceito que as micelas esféricas, que são núcleos esféricos rodeados por uma corona polimérica, seriam os auto-agregados dos quais se formariam os demais tipos. 35 A partir de 2005, um grupo liderado por Giuseppe Battaglia vem realizando amplos estudos na temática, nos quais descreve que CA em concentrações mais elevadas se auto-organizam em cristais líquidos liotrópicos e a transição da fase liotrópica para estruturas isotrópicas ocorre, por exemplo, com a passagem das lamelas em pilhas para estruturas fechadas (vesículas) com aumento da fase aquosa.…”

“…A quantidade crítica de água para o início da agregação depende dos seguintes fatores: (1) concentração de polímero, (2) temperatura, (3) composição de copolímero (estrutura química, proporção e massa molecular de cada bloco de homopolímero) e (5) propriedades do solvente. 42 A morfofologia resultante da auto agregação desses polímeros pode ser deduzida a partir do parâmetro crítico de empacotamento ou critical packing parameter (p) descrito na equação 1. Este conceito foi introduzido para moléculas anfifílicas em 1975 por Israellachvilli.…”

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13] Microfluidic fabrication of polymersomes has been intensively investigated in the past decade because microfluidic techniques can easily help control polymer vesicle size, composition and also greatly improve encapsulation efficiency. [14][15][16] In general, the fabrication of polymersomes using microfluidics involves two steps. First, the fabrication of core/shell double emulsion droplets by microfluidics with block copolymers dissolved in volatile organic solvents as shell part and some aqueous solution as core part.…”
