Abstract
Block copolymers are polymeric molecules that impart strong surface activity and adsorption to the surface. They have received great attention in the past decade due to their versatile properties. Their tendency to self assemble on nanometer length scales, makes them ideal for emerging nanotechnologies. This review encompasses various aspects involved in self assembly of block copolymer micelle. Thermodynamics, phase behaviour and modelling of block copolymer micelle are main contents of the article. Final section describes about the application of these copolymers in controlled drug release.Downloads
