Abstract

Microfluidic platform for the synthesis of complex nanocapsules is presented via a controlled self-assembly. The monodisperse nanocapsules in the range of 50-200 nm consist of a dendritic polyethylene core and a Pluronic copolymer shell. The resultant nanocarriers encapsulate large amount of hydrophobic anticancer drug like paclitaxel while providing a low complement activation as well as sustained release profile with high tunability.
