It is of great significance to study the structure property and self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymer in order to effectively and efficiently design and prepare drug delivery systems. In this work, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation method was used to investigate the structure property and self-assembly ability of pH-responsive amphiphilic block copolymer poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid)-b-poly(aminoethyl methacrylate) (poly(MMA-co-MAA)-b-PAEMA). The effects of different block ratios (hydrophilic PAEMA segment and pH-sensitive PMAA segment) in copolymer on self-assembly and drug loading capacity including drug distribution were extensively investigated. The increase of hydrophilic PAEMA facilitated the formation of a typical core-shell structure as well as a hydrophobic PMAA segment. Furthermore, the optimal drug-carrier ratio was confirmed by an analysis of the drug distribution during the self-assembly process of block copolymer and model drug Ibuprofen (IBU). In addition, the drug distribution and nanostructure of IBU-loaded polymeric micelles (PMs) self-assembled from precise block copolymer (PMMA-b-PMAA-b-PAEMA) and block copolymer (poly(MMA-co-MAA)-b-PAEMA) with random pH-responsive/hydrophobic structure were evaluated, showing that almost all drug molecules were encapsulated into a core for a random copolymer compared to the analogue. The nanostructures of IBU-loaded PMs at different pH values were evaluated. The results displayed that the nanostructure was stable at pH < pKa and anomalous at pH > pKa which indicated drug release, suggesting that the PMs could be used in oral drug delivery. These findings proved that the amphiphilic block copolymer P(MMA30-co-MAA33)-b-PAEMA38 with random structure and pH-sensitivity might be a potential drug carrier. Moreover, DPD simulation shows potential to study the structure property of PMs self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymer.

The well-defined block copolymer PMMA-b-PS was prepared by two-step ATRP in emulsion system. GPC results indicate that Mn increased linearly with conversion and polydispersity remained relatively narrow. It presents the characteristics of living polymerization in emulsion system. FT-IR demonstrated that block copolymer PMMA-b-PS could be successfully synthesized by ATRP with macroinitiator PMMA-Cl in emulsion system. The morphological characteristic of the self-assembly depends on the block copolymer concentration and transforms between spheres and rodlike micelles. The property indicates a perfect potential application in drug delivery materials.
