Application of polymeric micelles-
1. They can be used in drug delivery systems
2. The core of the micelle is capable to accommodate/or solubilize
poorly water soluble drugs
3. They facilitate the sustain release of drugs

Drawback of double hydrophilic micelles-
It does not have prolonged circulation time in the blood stream because it is unfrozen in nature. So, micelle collapses immediately when it is diluted more
than hundred times in the blood capillaries
Application of frozen micelles-
From the viewpoint of delivery systems for ionic drugs, another property is required in vivo: i.e. the micelle should not collapse after being highly diluted in the blood stream
For such a requirement, there seem to be two hopeful ways. One is to employ polymeric micelles with a cross-linked core, and the other is to use frozen micelles, in which the exchange of unimers between the micelle and the aqueous bulk phase takes a long time scale of hours or more

1. Addition of CLX into the micellar solution at pH 3 decreases both the hydrodynamic diameter as well as the zeta-potential of the neat micelle. This fact clearly indicates that the electrostatic interaction between the anionic drug and the protonated PVP block of the micelle plays an important role during the incorporation of CLX into the micelle
2. In the releases experiments of CLX, the value of k1 is found to be 0.046 h-1 at pH 3 and 0.074 h-1 at pH 7. Due to the protonated nature of the PVP block at pH 3, the incorporated CLX is released more slowly from the micelle of PS-PVP-PEO than at pH 7 because at pH 3, the anionic drug CLX is bound to the protonated PVP block by electrostatic interaction while at pH 7, there is no such a strong interaction between CLX and the micelle
3. The obtained release time indicates that the retention of drugs in the micelles is long enough for the micelle to be employed for a controlled release of drugs

PS block forms the core of the micelle to be a template of the void space in the hollow silica
PVP block forms the shell to be a reaction field of the sol–gel reaction of silica precursors
PEO forms the corona to stabilize the polymer/silica intermediate composites

Conclusions:
1. We have successfully prepared a hollow silica nano-sphere with a high uniformity in size using a template of the ABC triblock copolymer micelle with a core-shell-corona architecture.
2. The void space diameter of hollow silica nanoparticles can be fine-tuned on a several nanometer scale by changing the length of the PS block.
3. The wall thickness of the hollow silica nanoparticles can be easily controlled by varying the concentration of the silica precursor.
4. The most interesting feature of this approach is the possibility that it might be applied to the preparation of other inorganic hollow particles with a controlled cavity size and wall thickness.

When does HPG-borate Behave as a Polyelectrolyte – Difficult to Predict
• Cases showing typical anionic polyelectrolyte behavior– HPG-borate gives bridging flocculation of cationic

HPG-borate Adsorption onto DOTAP
• Without added salt HPG-borate does adsorb onto cationic liposomes.
• In 0.1 M NaCl there is no adsorption.
31
HPG-borate Induced Aggregation
• Without added salt, HPG-borate induces DOTAP aggregation.
• With salt no effect at low HPG-borate conc., aggregation at high conc.
32
MW Sensitivity – Classic Depletion Flocculation
• Polymer concentration for depletion is inversely related to MW.
33
Depletion Flocculation
• There is a zone near the particle surfaces with lower polymer segment concentration.
• Osmotic (depletion) forces favor the particles coming together so depletion zones overlaps

CMG Interactions with DOTAP
• Electrophoretic mobility shows anionic CMG adsorbs onto cationic DOTAP liposome.
36
CMG Aggregates DOTAP Liposomes
• Dynamic light scattering and turbidity (not shown) shows liposome flocculation
• Behavior is consistent with conventional bridging flocculation.
37
Conclusions• DOTAP behavior in the presence of HPG-borate depends upon the
salt concentration. Without added salt, HPG-borate binds to and aggregates the cationic liposomes whereas in salt concentrations in the range of physiological solutions, HPG-borate does not bind to cationic DOTAP liposomes.
• High concentrations of all studied guar derivatives induced DOTAP aggregation, driven by depletion forces. As expected, the polymer concentrations required to induce aggregation varied inversely with polymer molecular weight.
