Description
PCL(3k)-PEG(2k)-ALK is an alkyne functionalized block copolymer with a hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) block and a hydrophilic PEG block. The terminal alkyne reacts with azide moiety in the presence of Cu catalyst or with cyclooctyne, such as DBCO or BCN to form a stable triazole bond. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups.
