π–π stacking strategies can enhance the stability performance of delivery platforms but are often restricted by incomplete drug release performance, even with the help of crosslinking strategies. Therefore, there has been considerable interest in enhancing the drug release performance by disrupting the π–π stacking region (structural rearrangements). Herein, we synthesized poly(3-(isobutyloxy)-2-oxopropyl benzoate)-b-poly(2-hydroxybutyl methacrylate)-co-poly((ethylene glycol)methylether methacrylate) [PBOOPMA-b-P(HBMA-co-PEGMA), PHB] and revealed the drug release mechanism of PHB-based micelles. The structural rearrangements derived from the crosslinking strategy were revealed to improve the early release performance by 43–55% using micellar dissolutions. Moreover, the esterase-responsive strategy was elucidated to induce reassembly with 77–79% size variation, intensifying the structural rearrangements, which was also synergistic with the crosslinking strategy. Based on the advantages of improving drug release performance, the esterase-responsive strategy was considered a promising candidate for enhancing late release performance. Meanwhile, it is believed that such responsive modulation (crosslinking, esterase-responsive) in the π–π stacking region will become highly promising for subsequent research. Finally, the biosafety of 95.81% at 400 mg L−1 and drug cytotoxicity of IC50 ≈ 2.5 mg L−1 of PHB-EDE@CPT were also validated, confirming the broad application prospects of PHB-based crosslinked micelles.

Journal of Materials Chemistry B
Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry B are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Antifouling coatings Biocompatible materials Bioelectronics Bioimaging Biomimetics Biomineralisation Bionics Biosensors Diagnostics Drug delivery Gene delivery Immunobiology Nanomedicine Regenerative medicine & Tissue engineering Scaffolds Soft robotics Stem cells Therapeutic devices image block All articles published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B from 2019 onwards will be indexed in MEDLINE®. Articles that primarily focus on providing insight into the underlying science and performance of biomaterials within a biological environment are more suited to our companion journal, Biomaterials Science.
