Abstract
Although worm-like micelles were invented 35 years ago, its formation pathway remains unclear. Inspired by the fact that a single molecular level experiment could provide meaningful and additional information, especially in a heterogeneous subpopulation, herein, we present a single molecular level study on the formation of wormlike micelles by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium salicylate (NaSal) in water. Our results indicated a coexistence of normal spherical micelles along with a big wormlike micelle in its formation path. More interestingly, we have two unique insights into the formation mechanism, which are inaccessible in ensemble averaged experiments: (i) at extremely low concentrations of the surfactant, [CTAB]/[NaSal] ∼ 0.06, the wormlike micelle attains the highest size; and (ii) the relative concentration of wormlike micelles is highest when [CTAB]/[NaSal] ∼ 2.

Abstract
Responsive wormlike micelles (WLMs) constructed by different carboxylic acids are fascinating. However, it is unknown how the position of the carboxylic groups alters the stimuli-response of wormlike micellar systems. Herein, three pH-responsive WLMs based on Gemini-like surfactants (named o-EAPA, m-EAPA, and p-EAPA) were formed and studied through the complexation of N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine (UC22AMPM) and o-phthalic acid (o-PA), m-phthalic acid (m-PA), or p-phthalic acid (p-PA) at the molar ratio of 2 : 1. The viscoelasticity, phase behavior and aggregate microstructure were separately explored by rheological, appearance observation and cryo-TEM methods. The results show that all phthalic acids can protonate UC22AMPM, thereby forming WLMs. However, with the shorter spacer distance between two carboxyl groups in phthalic acid, o-EAPA exhibits the longer length scale of aggregates and a more efficient thickening ability compared to the other two systems. Similar results in the N,N-dimethyl oleoaminde-propylamine (DOAPA) and o-PA, m-PA, and p-PA systems further verify the applicability of this mechanism. Furthermore, the phthalic acid based WLMs are found to exhibit intriguing reversible pH-responsive behaviors, which include promptly switching between a high elastic system and a low viscosity fluid by pH control. The o-EAPA system possesses a larger viscosity maximum, which produces more precipitous viscosity changes as the pH varies. This study is beneficial for the formation of pH-responsive WLMs and to determine their advantages for applications.

Abstract
In the search of new drug delivery carriers for the brain, self-assembled nanoparticles (NP) were prepared from poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-block-polystyrene polymer. NP displayed biocompatibility on cultured endothelial cells, macrophages and differentiated SH-SY5Y neuronal-like cells. The surface-functionalization of NP with a modified fragment of human Apolipoprotein E (mApoE) enhanced the uptake of NP by cultured human brain capillary endothelial cells, as assessed by confocal microscopy, and their permeability through a Transwell Blood Brain Barrier model made with the same cells, as assessed by fluorescence. Finally, mApoE-NP embedding doxorubicin displayed an enhanced release of drug at low pH, suggesting the potential use of these NP for the treatment of brain tumors.

Abstract
Yet, no standardized test method for drug release measurements from PLGA-based microparticles has been generally agreed on, or described by the regulatory authorities. Often, perfect sink conditions are provided in vitro to avoid artificial drug saturation effects. However, the maintenance of such conditions might strongly affect PLGA degradation. The involved physicochemical processes are complex and the potential impact of perfect sink conditions is not yet well understood. Differently sized, highly porous, carbamazepine- and ibuprofen-loaded PLGA microparticles were prepared by a W/O/W emulsion solvent extraction/evaporation technique. The initial drug loading was intentionally low (3-4%) so that the two drugs were molecularly dispersed within the polymeric matrices (monolithic solutions). This was important to be able to exclude potential limited drug solubility effects on the resulting release kinetics. Drug release into phosphate buffer pH 7.4 was measured under perfect sink conditions. SEC, DSC and SEM were used to characterize polymer degradation. The decrease in the average polymer molecular weight, glass transition temperature as well as changes in the inner and outer morphology of the PLGA microparticles were strongly affected by the bulk fluid's volume. In the case of the poorly water-soluble drug carbamazepine, much lower "microparticle mass:phosphate buffer volume" ratios were required to maintain perfect sink conditions, resulting in stable pH values within the bulk fluid, slower PLGA degradation and, thus, lower drug release rates. Thus, great care has to be taken when defining the conditions for in vitro drug release measurements from PLGA-based microparticles, avoiding potentially artificial conditions for polymer degradation.

Abstract
In certain applications copolymer P123 (E21P67E21) is dissolved in water-ethanol mixtures, initially to form micellar solutions and eventually to gel. For P123 in 10, 20, and 30 wt % aqueous ethanol we used dynamic light scattering from dilute solutions to confirm micellization, oscillatory rheometry, and visual observation of mobility (tube inversion) to determine gel formation in concentrated solutions and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to determine gel structure. Except for solutions in 30 wt % aqueous ethanol, a clear-turbid transition was encountered on heating dilute and concentrated micellar solutions alike, and as for solutions in water alone (Chaibundit et al. Langmuir 2007, 23, 9229) this could be ascribed to formation of wormlike micelles. Dense clouding, typical of phase separation, was observed at higher temperatures. Regions of isotropic and birefringent gel were defined for concentrated solutions and shown (by SAXS) to have cubic (fcc and hcp) and hexagonal structures, consistent with packed spherical and elongated micelles, respectively. The cubic gels (0, 10, and 20 wt % ethanol) were clear, while the hex gels were either turbid (0 and 10 wt % ethanol), turbid enclosing a clear region (20 wt % ethanol), or entirely clear (30 wt % ethanol). The SAXS profile was unchanged between turbid and clear regions of the 20 wt % ethanol gel. Temperature scans of dynamic moduli showed (as expected) a clear distinction between high-modulus cubic gels (G'max approximately 20-30 kPa) and lower modulus hex gels (G'max<10 kPa).
