Design and Synthesis of Amphiphilic Copolymers :
Amphiphilic copolymers are advanced smart materials capable of undergoing compositional or conformational changes in response to intracellular or extracellular stimuli, such as light, temperature, or pH. Because of their unique self-assembly behavior, these materials have demonstrated high efficiency in the encapsulation and delivery of hydrophobic therapeutic agents.
