Popis: | Micellar solutions of PAAm-b-PEO-b-PAAm triblock copolymer (TBC) based on chemically complementary poly(ethylene oxide) and polyacrylamide (Mn= 6 and 116 kDa) were applied to study the encapsulation of poorly soluble crystallizing drug prednisolon (PS) in a region of ϕ= 0.065 ÷ 0.39 molPS/base-molTBC. The equilibrium mechanism of the encapsulation and the effect of specific aggregation of small and large PS-loaded micelles by their “coronas” that promoted the drug crystallization were established. The fractal character of large drug-loaded micelles and unusual morphology of PS crystals allowed assuming the presence of TBC micelles inside crystalline space. |
