Recovery, loading, DLS analysis and Zeta potential value of SMA-BER and SMA-NR16 micelles^a.

	Recoveryb	Loadingc (w/w)	Size (nm)	PDId	ζ potential (mV)
SMA-BER	79%	13.24%	123.3 ± 2.63	0.24 ± 0.015	−46.36 ± 1.86
SMA-NR16	74%	12.63%	137.2 ± 2.29	0.15 ± 0.023	−49.23 ± 0.13

^aData are shown as mean values ± standard deviation (SD). Values are the mean of triplicate experiments.

^bStarting from 1 g of SMA and 200 mg of free BER, 947 mg of SMA-BER have been obtained (79% recovery); starting from 1 g of SMA and 200 mg of NR16, 0.891 mg of SMA-NR16 have been obtained (74% recovery).

^cLoading as measured by HPLC-MS.

^dPDI = polydispersity index.
