摘要: Abstract In this work a series of ABA tri-block copolymers was prepared from oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA 475 ) and N,N -dimethylaminoethyl (DMAEMA) to investigate the effect polymer composition on cell viability, siRNA uptake, serum stability gene silencing. Reversible Addition–Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization used as method synthesis technique allows preparation well-defined block with low polydispersity.
