Popis: Stimuli-responsive micelles were formed by asymmetric diblock and triblock copolymers, which comprised chemically complementary (methoxy)poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(acrylic acid) blocks of different length. They were used as nanocarriers to encapsulate and deliver in vivo a poorly soluble homolog of α-tocopheryl acetate (α-TOCAh), commonly known as an analogue of vitamin E. Self-assembly of the copolymer macromolecules into special micellar structures in aqueous solutions depended on the solution pH. The micellar structures arising at pH
