(a) Free energy profiles of bexarotene in SSM-10 (water) and SSM-90 (0.16 M NaCl). Whole solvated micelles loaded with drugs were present in the free energy calculations; different numbers of drugs are considered in the SSM-90 core. The vertical arrows show the positions of ionic interfaces in the two SSMs. (b) Free energy profiles of bexarotene across the interfaces of octane with pure water, 0.16M NaCl, and hydrated PEG. Interfaces in these planar systems are located at r ≈ 2.5 nm (red arrow). The free energy in a hydrated octane nanodroplet of the radius 2.1 nm is also shown. The interface in this system is marked by the blue arrow.
