Hydrophobic 2 was encapsulated by amphiphilic triblock copolymer poly[N^e-(benzyloxycarbonyl-lysine]-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly [N^e-(benzyl oxycarbonyl) (PLL(Z)-b-PEG-b-PLL(Z)) to form hydrophobic 2-loaded polymeric complex micelle (PIC) (2-loaded P/C). Atom force microscopy (AFM) image showed that 2-loaded PIC formed a spherical nanocarrier with approximately 35-50 nm in diameter. The fluorescence intensity and lifetime of 2-loaded PIC was significantly enhanced bv the incorporation 2 into PIC nanocarrier.展开更多
