Abstract

Abstract : Back Cover: An amphiphilic statistical copolymer forms micellar aggregates in water that can entrap drug molecules and release selectively at acidic pH. This is ascribed to the slow hydrolysis of the β‐thiopropionate linkage that connects the hydrophobic pendant chains to the backbone of the polymer. Further details can be found in the article by P. Pramanik, D. Halder, S. S. Jana, * and S. Ghosh* on page 1499.
