a) Schematic representation of the intra‐ and intermolecular agglomeration and self‐assembly of the polymers upon conjugation of the hydrophobic drug in aqueous solvents. b) Molecular size distribution by intensity as detected by dynamic light scattering for polymers 2–5 in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 (polymer concentration 1 mg mL⁻¹, d_h—hydrodynamic diameter). c) Release of 5 from the conjugate at 37 °C in acidic environment (acetate buffer, pH 5), and a neutral solution (pH 7.4, tris buffer). The amount of the released drug was estimated using a calibration curve for the free drug.
