The aim of this study was to construct novel targeting polymeric micelles. Folate-Poly (ethylenimine)-Pluronic copolymers were synthesized. A paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded mixed micelles consisting of Folate-Poly (ethylenimine)-Pluronic and Pluronic L121 copolymers have been developed. The mixed micelles showed nano-sized spherical morphology.

Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces, 105, 43-50 (2013-01-29)
The interaction between bacteria and surfaces is central to many environmental, industrial and medical applications. Surfactants are commonly used in these applications and can potentially influence the bacterium/surface interaction. The effect of surfactants upon bacterial cell surface thermodynamic properties was
