Influence of Pluronic Polymers on Triclosan Solubility and Particle Size. Micelle Formulations Were Prepared Using Direct Dissolution Method. Data were expressed as mean ± SD, n=3.

Pluronic copolymers	Average Molecular Weight*	Average No. of EO/PO/EO units**	HLB*	Triclosan Solubility (mg/mL)	Particle Size (nm)	PDI
P123	5750	39/69/39	8	12.9±0.6	53.0±5.0	0.27
F127	12600	200/65/200	24	11.5±1.3	43.6 ±8.4	0.25

^*The average molecular weights and HLB values were determined and provided by the manufacturer (BASF, Wyandotte, MI).

^**The average numbers of EO and PO units were calculated using the average molecular weights of the Pluronics.
