Abstract: The present work describes the preparation of stable organic nanoparticles with potential use as “smart” drug delivery systems capable of encapsulating lipophilic molecules to exert their therapeutic action under the appropriate stimulus. A well-defined self-assembly hydrophilic-hydrophobic di-block copolymer has been synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The hydrophilic block is based on a random copolymer with DMA and HEMA units, while the hydrophobic component is a linear random copolymer of DEA and FMA. Stabilizat...
