Poly(ethylene glycol) is by far the most well-known biocompatible synthetic polymer for its widespread use in the food, cosmetics, and biomedical applications. However, its limited functionality combined with its challenging synthetic nature often poses challenges for advanced material design and synthesis. Recently, polyglycerols and their derivatives are emerging as alternatives for next-generation biocompatible polymers with controlled functionality and architectures. The present talk will cover the well-defined double hydrophilic block copolymer of polyglycerols and their derivatives for efficient drug delivery systems. Furthermore, our recent effort in the development of other drug delivery nanocarriers with multifunctionality will be highlighted. |
