## Abstract The synthesis of a model water‐soluble drug carrier system based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block copolymers is described. In the system, two blocks of PEG are connected via a biodegradable oligopeptide or amino acid linkage incorporating at least one glutamic acid residue. A drug m

## Abstract Nanoparticles based on amorphous poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate)–poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB‐PEG‐PHB) are potential drug delivery vehicles, and so their cytotoxicity and hemolysis assay were investigated __in vitro__ using two kinds of animal cells. The PHB‐PEG‐PHB nanopa
## Abstract PEG‐PLA copolymers with dumbbell‐ and Y‐shaped structures are prepared. They can self‐assemble from nanoparticles to micro‐sized fusiform micellar particles in aqueous solution. In particular the micelles formed by the (PLA)~2~‐PEG‐(PLA)~2~ particles show a better drug loading capacity
