Forty years after their discovery, triblock or star copolymers of PS and polyisoprene (PI) or PB, denoted SIS and SBS, still dominate the market for block copolymers and their blends. They are ...

Her lab is currently working on two primary projects. The first project involves the synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers that assemble into nanostructured micelles in aqueous media. These ...

new thermoplastic elastomers based on block and graft copolymers, end-functional polymers, organic-inorganic hybrid materials, amphiphilic block copolymers for directed self-assembly of nanostructures ...

The second group includes hydrophobic interactions between drugs and nanocarriers (e.g., polymeric micelles from amphiphilic block copolymers). Polymeric nanocarriers in the third group include ...
