Silica/organosilica cross-linked block copolymer micelles are a novel class of hybrid materials that combine the advantages of amphiphilic block copolymers and silica/organosilica cross-linking agents into one unit. This Tutorial Review summarizes the recent progress in the design, synthesis and biomedical applications of various silica/organosilica cross-linked block copolymer micelles.

AbstractBlock copolymers are well recognized as excellent nanotools for delivering hydrophobic drugs. The formulation of such delivery nanoparticles requires robust characterization and clarification of the critical quality attributes correlating with the safety and efficacy of the drug before applying to regulatory authorities for approval. Static solution scattering from block copolymers is one such technique. This paper first outlines the theoretical background and current models for analyzing this scattering and then presents an overview of our recent studies on block copolymers.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) was triggered via the spatial confinement in the coronal chains in block copolymers upon micellization, even with very low content of AIE groups attached, and this could be used to monitor the self-assembly process.

Multifunctional micelles based on two co-assembled block copolymers are proven to effectively accumulate and deliver curcumin in mitochondria, thus, inducing a much higher proapoptotic activity than single copolymer micelles.
