Nanoparticles are widely used to fabricate structures, photonic devices, dendrimers and biomimetic structures, at supramolecular scales. Some of the applications are controlled drug release in biomedical applications, delivery of active ingredients in cosmetics, and studying new material properties (optical and thermal characteristics) in materials science. The most common nanospheres used in biomedical applications are formed by self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers. At the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials (NJCBM), we have developed one such family of nanospheres based on tyrosine-derived polymers.
The goal of this project is to make such nanospheres and use to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs.
