Description
PCL(5k)-PEG(5k)-N3 is a block copolymer containing polycaprolactone (PCL) block (hydrophobic) and PEG block (hydrophilic). The azide moiety reacts with terminal alkyne in the presence of Cu catalyst or with cyclooctyne, such as DBCO or BCN to form a stable triazole bond.
Applications
PCL(5k)-PEG(5k)-N3 has important applications in areas such as molecule delivery and biomaterials, where precise modulation of material properties and functions is achieved through specific chemical reactions with other molecules or surfaces through click chemistry.
