## Abstract **Summary:** Photocrosslinked nanogels with a hydrophobic core and hydrophilic shell are successfully fabricated with the goal of obtaining a biocompatible and biodegradable drug carrier for hydrophobic anticancer drugs. These nanogels are composed of amphiphilic triblock copolymers, po

This article investigated the effects of electron beam (EB) irradiation on poly(D,L-lactic acid)-b-poly-(ethylene glycol) copolymer (PLEG) and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA). The dominant effect of EB irradiation on both PLEG and PLLA was chain scission. With increasing dose, recombination reactions or
## Abstract Stereoblock poly(lactic acid) (sbโPLA) is incorporated into a 1:1 polymer blend system of poly(Lโlactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(Dโlactic acid) (PDLA) that has a high molecular weight to study its addition effect on the stereocomplex (sc) formation of PLLA and PDLA. The ternary polymer ble
## Abstract A novel PLAโbased polymer containing reactive pendent ketone or hydroxyl groups was synthesized by the copolymerization of Lโlactide with __ฮต__โcaprolactoneโbased monomers. The polymer was activated with NPC, resulting in an amineโreactive polymer which was then cast into thin polymeric
