for satisfactory results.
Cloud Point. The solubility of non-ionic surfactants in aqueous
solution decreases with increasing temperature, and the solution
which is called the cloud point [12]. Cloud point is the eigenvalue
example, for Tween surfactants, the cloud point of Tween 20 is
for the occurrence of cloud point is that as the temperature rises,
the hydrogen bond between polyethylene glycol and water is
destroyed and the solubility decreases. The hydrogen bond can
be formed again after cooling, and the solution becomes clear.
When the chain length of polyethylene glycol is the same, the
longer the carbon chain length, the lower the cloud point of
the surfactant. When the carbon chain length is the same, the
cloud point increases with the growth of the polyethylene glycol
segment.
2.3.4.2 Electrolytes
The addition of a strong electrolyte to ionic surfactant solution
can reduce CMC because of the electrostatic interaction between
the electrolyte ions and the oppositely charged surfactant ions,
which reduces the electrostatic repulsion between the polar
groups and reduces the electrical work consumed during
the properties of the dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide
(DTAB) micelle, a cationic surfactant. The properties of non-ionic

dielectric constant or dissolution parameters, and improving the
interaction of water with surfactants or micelles, such as urea,
methylamine, guanidine salts, short-chain alcohols, ethylene
glycol, fructose, and xylitol, etc.; Urea, methylamine and guanidine
salts can destroy the structure of water, increase hydration of
the hydrophilic moiety, prevent gelation, and improve the CMC
value of the surfactant aqueous solution, especially for PEGbased non-ionic surfactants. They can increase the CMC value
at high concentrations by reducing the cohesive energy density
and increasing the concentration of monomeric surfactants. For
solutions containing ionic surfactants, the presence of these
compounds can reduce the dielectric constant, leading to stronger
mutual repulsive force of the ionic end of the micelle.
2.4 Structure and Stability of Polymeric
Micelles
PMs are generally prepared from amphiphilic block copolymers
philic and hydrophobic chain segments, where the hydrophobic
moiety of the copolymer joins to form a semisolid core and the
66

hydrophilic part forms a crown with hydrogen bonds between
the surrounding water molecules [13]. When the concentration
is lower than CMC, the copolymer exists as a single molecule in
the whole solution. When the concentration goes above CMC, the
polymer obtains micelles by self-assembly. Most polymers have
lower CMC (as low as 10
–10
M) compared to small molecule
surfactants, and are able to form systems with high stabilities [14].
Besides, micelles of some copolymers also have excellent kinetic
stability.
Various theories have been developed to predict the
structural parameters of micelle (CMC, aggregation number m,
nuclear radius Rc, shell thickness L, hydrodynamic radius Rh)
based on copolymer characteristics, including functions of
molecular weight and chemical composition [15]. In all these
theories, the total Gibbs free energy G
(m)
of micelles can be divided
and mathematical methods, including the Gibbs free energy G
(shell)
of the core, Gibbs free energy G
(shell)
of the shell and Gibbs free
energy G
(interface)
of the core/shell interface:
G(micelle) = G(core) + G(shell) + G(interface) (2.9)
2.4.1 Thermodynamical Stability
According to the early results of Price and Quintana, micelle
formation from block copolymers in organic media is enthalpydriven [16]. Gibbs free energy DG0:
DG0 = DH0 = TDS
0
(2.10)
The DS0 caused by the loss of the combined entropy is negative,
which is not conducive to micellization, because the copolymer
chain in micelles has small swelling in the non-associative state.
Moreover, the block connection is located at the core/shell
interface of micelle, which also leads to a decrease in the number
of possible conformations. The negative value of DH0 is due to the
exothermic energy exchange caused by the interaction between
polymer and solvent replacing the polymer/solvent interaction.

67
Thus, the formation of micelle nuclei contributes the most to the
exothermic process.
This is completely inconsistent with the reported micellization,
low molecular weight surfactant and hydrophilic-hydrophobic
segmented copolymer in aqueous solutions. A typical example
is PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO block copolymer, whose micellization is an
entropy-driven process due to the hydrophobic interaction near
For block polymer to associate in selective organic solvents, the

2.4.2 Structural Stability
The scaling theory is developed to describe the relationship
between the structural characteristics and properties of a certain
segmented copolymer (mainly two segmented copolymer AB) on
the basis of a simple model, such as the nuclear radius RC, corona
thickness L and aggregation number Z of a segment in selective
copolymers with B being the insoluble block; it forms either
crew-cut micelles with Rc » L or the so-called hairy micelles. For
the crew-cut micelles, assuming uniformly stretched nuclear
segments and short shell segments, the radius RC of the core is
shown in Equation 2.14:

where NB is the number of monomer units of the insoluble
segment, and g is the interfacial tension between two chain
segments, a is the length of the fragment. The scale P of the
aggregation number is shown in Equation 2.15:
P ~ NBγ (2.15)
In 1982, Daoud and Cotton derived the star copolymer model
for describing star-shaped micelles [19]. This model predicts the
total radius R of the micelle and the number and aggregation of
soluble block monomer units as shown in Equation 2.16:

The scaling concept describing polymer concentration
distributions and free energies is mainly applied to micellular
solution containing long polymer chains. In fact, the above scale
interactions. Furthermore, numerical values for micellar properties
cannot be obtained directly because scaling laws can only predict
trends, such as how a given micellar parameter scales with a
given copolymer parameter. Therefore, the scaling model must
2.4.3 Micelle Structural Tailoring
In 1982, Noolandi and Hong proposed a self-consistent mean-
model of segmented copolymers and homopolymers [20]. It is the
tool for the study of copolymers and their co-mingled systems.
They derived the micellar characteristics by minimizing the Gibbs

energy of an isolated micelle using numerical values of the
Flory–Huggins interaction parameters c, molecular weight and
composition of the copolymer. The theoretical values were in fair
agreement with those obtained experimentally. Leibler et al. then
improved the theory by minimizing the total Gibbs energy not
only for one micelle but for the whole micellar system [21].
The Flory–Huggins solution theory derived the relations
between the mixing entropy, the heat of mixing, and the free energy
of mixing for polymer solutions from the lattice-like model of
liquids using statistical thermodynamics in the form of Equation
DFm = DUm – TDSm = RT [n1lnΦ1 + n2lnΦ2 + n1Φ2 c12
where n
1
and Φ1 refer to the mole number and volume fraction
of the solvent, n
2
and Φ2, respectively, refer to the mole number
and volume fraction of the polymer, c is called Flory–Huggins
interaction energy between the polymer and the solvent. The value
of the polymer solvent action parameter c can be used as a semiquantitative criterion for the merits of the solvent. If c is greater
than 0.5, the polymer generally cannot be dissolved; If c is lower
than 0.5, the polymer can be dissolved, and the smaller it is,
the better the solvency ability of the solvent is.
solubility of their hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties in aqueous
solution (the determining factor is the solubility parameter of the
hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties in aqueous solution) [22].
The solubility of amphiphilic block copolymers can be described
by the Flory–Huggins parameter as shown in Equation 2.18:
c
p-s
= (dp – ds)2Vs/KT + 0.34 (2.18)
where dp and ds refer to the solubility parameters of the polymer
and the solvent, Vs is the molar volume of the solvent, and 0.34

In a polymer solution, the formation of nanoparticles of
polymer) requires the driving force of an external solvent, and
two thermodynamic conditions need to be met simultaneously
to complete the self-assembly [23]. Firstly, the c
p-s
of the high
hydrophilic chain segment of the solubility should be below 0.5.
Secondly, c
p-s
of the low hydrophobic chain segment of solubility
should be above 0.5. The morphology of the aggregates can
be realized by adjusting the chemical composition of polymer.
Packing parameter b of the system in solution is used to describe
this kinetic parameter, and can be obtained by calculating
Equation 2.20:
b = VH/LCA
0
(2.20)
where VH refers to the volume occupied by the hydrophobic
chain, LC refers to the length of the aggregation region of the
hydrophobic chain segments, and A0 refers to the surface
area occupied by the hydrophilic chains. Generally speaking,
spherical nanomicelles are formed when 0 < b < 1/3, rod-shaped
nanomicelles are formed when 1/3 < b < 1/2; vesicles are formed
when 1/2 < b < 1; and planar bilayers are formed when b > 1 (Fig.

2.5 NPP of Polymeric Micelles in Drug Delivery
PMs are widely used as nanocarriers for drug delivery and tumor
therapy due to their easy preparation and unique physiochemical
properties, excellent drug delivery and release, biocompatibility,
After that, PMs gradually became a common carrier for the delivery
of anticancer drugs and other bioactive molecules used in cancer
diagnosis and treatment.
A large number of studies have shown that the physiochemical
properties of nanocarriers vary with their forms, and determine
their functions and applications. For example, the in vivo stability
of micelles is related to the carrier surface charge density

Nottelet et al. synthesized a series of polyethylene glycolg-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-g-PCL) graft copolymers by click
chemistry, and prepared micellar solutions with sizes ranging
from 30 nm to 80 nm [31]. The size of the micelles decreases
with longer hydrophobic PCL chain segments, which is mainly
due to decreased hydration from the less hydrophilic outer shell.
Moreover, the reduced proportion of PEG trapped in the
hydrophobic core leads to less swollen core, hence the smaller
size. The size distributions of the micelles are all between
0.21 and 0.40, which are higher than those prepared with
conventional linear copolymers. This is possibly due to the higher
energy required for the side-arm PEG to phase separation.
