The EB/PEG molar ratios and reaction times were adjusted to achieve different chain lengths of PEB. Block copolymers that were characterized by1 H NMR and GPC could selfassemble into multimorphological aggregates in aqueous solution, which were characterized by DLS and TEM. The hydrophobic doxorubicin(DOX) was chosen as a drug model and successfully encapsulated into the nanoparticles. The release kinetics of DOX were investigated.展开更多
