Preparation of Polymeric Micelles of Poly(Ethylene Oxide-b-Lactic Acid) and their Encapsulation With Lavender Oil

Nanoparticles comprised of the poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly (lactic acid) diblock copolymer (PEO-b-PLA) with and without the incorporation of lavender oil were prepared by nanoprecipitation. Diblock copolymers based on a fixed PEO block (5KDa) and two different PLA segments (4.5 or 10KDa) were used....
