Synthesis and Study of the Properties of Amphiphilic Poly-N-Vinylpyrrolidone with Terminal Thioalkyl Groups [PDF]
Poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone-based amphiphilic polymers, which can be used as drug carriers, were prepared by radical polymerization with a thiol-type chain transfer agent. The polymers did not contain sequences of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fragments in the
