POLY 335 |
| A variety of polymers and polymer-based assemblies are finding their way into therapeutic agents and several new polymer-drug conjugates - mostly small proteins bound to a poly(ethylene glycol) chain - have already been approved for human use. This lecture will explore the design and synthesis of a variety of macromolecules for application in the general area of therapeutics with examples ranging from single molecules such as polyfunctional dendrimers or dendronized polymers, to macromolecular assemblies such as light sensitive micelles, and acid degradable multicomponent nano-or micro-particles. |
