Polymer conjugates for drug delivery

DOI

Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide range of fields including materials chemistry and pharmacy, with both the solution and polymer melt characteristics being of interest. The encapsulation, solubilisation and protection of compounds (either organic or inorganic) by comb polymers makes them particularly useful as drug delivery vectors. Here, we propose to measure the structure of a model inorganic particle-comb polymer system. In combination with previous SANS experiments that were undertaken on polymer-drug conjugates, this will help provide the data required to understand the conjugation of comb polymers at the theoretical level.
