Three-arm (A2B) and four-arm (A2B2) star-shaped copolymers based on biocompatible and biodegradable hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) (A arms) and biocompatible and bioeliminable hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) (B arms) were synthesized by the coupling of an ω-azide terminated PEO chains with PCL chain bearing one (A2B) or two (A2B2) alkyne functions at the middle of the chain by the copper mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The amphiphilic behavior of these different stars was confirmed by micellization experiments in water followed by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The efficiency to stabilize PLA nanoparticles was investigated in function of the stars structure. [less ▲]

The synthesis of a new pH-sensitive amphiphilic A2B mikto-arm star-shaped aliphatic copolyester (with A = PCL and B = tertiary amine-bearing PCL) with two hydrophobic arms and one hydrophilic arm when protonated at pH = 5.5. The copper mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition was used for the synthesis of the star copolyester and to impart the pH sensitivity to the hydrophilic arm by grafting of tertiary amine groups onto azide bearing PCL chain. The formation of polymersomes in water at pH 5 was assessed by DLS and TEM analyses. [less ▲]
