Challenges for the Self-Assembly of Poly(Ethylene Glycol)–Poly(Lactic Acid) (PEG-PLA) into Polymersomes: Beyond the Theoretical Paradigms

Polymersomes (PL), vesicles formed by self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers, have been described as promising nanosystems for drug delivery, especially of biomolecules. The film hydration method (FH) is widely used for PL preparation, however, it often requires long hydration times and commo...
