• selectivity and sensitivity for SDS detection, making it a promising analytical tool for rapid and onsite estimation. Keywords: Bradford reagent; environmental monitoring; PEG–PCL nanoparticles; SDS; SDS detection; Introduction Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), or sodium lauryl sulfate, is an anionic surfactant

• nanoparticles is a step ahead of the reported studies. Polymer nanoparticles prepared from PEG–PCL are widely used for drug delivery, tumour targeting, and imaging [28]. To our knowledge, there is no report regarding using PEG–PCL nanoparticles (PEG–PCL NPs) as a contaminant detection system. Accordingly, we

• Synthesis of PEG–PCL nanoparticles PEG–PCL copolymer nanoparticles were synthesized via a modified ring-opening copolymerization method with slight modification using a previously reported procedure [29]. In a typical synthesis, 4 g of mPEG was added to a round-bottom flask purged with nitrogen gas and

For instance, enhanced accumulation in an in vivo intracranial glioma mice model of PEG-PCL nanoparticles functionalized with angiopep-2 could be observed by real-time

• –shell PCL nanoparticles to tumor targeting with docetaxel on a glioma model is very rare. Recently, active-targeted docetaxel-loaded PEG/PCL nanoparticles were prepared successfully for glioblastoma therapy by Gao et al. Cellular uptake and tumor spheroid uptake studies on U87 human glioma cells show

• that active targeted PEG/PCL nanoparticles enhanced tumor penetration [22]. Besides that, Ungaro et al. obtained docetaxel-loaded core–shell PEO/PCL nanoassemblies for passive targeting of the anticancer drug to cancer cells. Their results showed that docetaxel-loaded PEO/PCL nanoparticles were more
