“…The slightly more hydrophobic nature of PPO compared to PEO drives these amphiphilic triblock copolymers to self‐assemble in aqueous solution, forming micelles with hydrophobic PPO cores and hydrophilic PEO coronas, as illustrated in Figure . These hydrophobic cores can provide an opportunity for to incorporate hydrophobic drugs into the formulation, which has led to multiple studies being done on F127 micelles as a form of drug delivery system in wound dressings for antibiotics and other active agents, including erythromycin, curcumin, nitric oxide, and melatonin (Alavi, Rezvanian, Ahmad, Mohamad, & Ng, ; Champeau et al, ; Rezvan, Pircheraghi, & Bagheri, ; Romić et al, ). These micelles can organize themselves into cubic structures when the F127 polymer concentrations are above about 20 wt %, effectively forming gels (Liu & Li, ).…”
