Paclitaxel-incorporated nanoparticles using block copolymers composed of poly(ethylene glycol)/poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate)

Table 1 Characterization of PHO/PEG block copolymers

	M.W. of PEG (g/mol)^a	M.W. by GPC (g/mol)			Particle size (weight average, nm)
	M.W. of PEG (g/mol)^a	M_w	M_n	PDI^b	Particle size (weight average, nm)
PHO	-	57,800	51,900	1.11	97.2
PHO/PEG 2 K	2,000	60,200	53,200	1.13	78.7
PHO/PEG 5 K	5,000	63,100	60,900	1.04	72.6
PHO/PEG 12 K	12,000	70,500	65,300	1.08	62.8

^aM.W. of PEG was from the manufacturer's data; ^bPDI (polydispersity index) was M_w/M_n.
