The impact of block and random copolymer micelle structures on dye solubilization and drug dispersion

Caption

Block copolymer micelles with well-defined core-shell structures significantly improve dye solubilization compared to random copolymers. This finding can lead to more efficient and cost-effective micelles for the ink and dye industries as well as drug delivery system in pharmaceutical industries.
