Microfluidic preparation and optimization of (Kollicoat ® IR-b-PCL) polymersome for co-delivery of Nisin-Curcumin in breast cancer application

[Display omitted] This work aimed to develop amphiphilic nanocarriers such as polymersome based diblock copolymer of Kollicoat ® IR −block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (Kollicoat ® IR-b-PCL) for potential co-delivery of Nisin (Ni) and Curcumin (CUR) for treatment of breast cancer. To generate multi-layered nanocarriers of uniform size and morphology, microfluidics was used as a new technology. In order to characterise and optimize polymersome, design of experiments (Design-Expert) software with three levels full factorial design (3-FFD) method was used. Finally, the optimized polymersome was produced with a spherical morphology, small particle size (dH
