Description
PLLA(2k)-PEG(1k)-N3 consists of a short PLLA segment (2k), a short PEG chain (1k), and a nitrophenyl group (-N3) at the end.
Applications
PLLA(2k)-PEG(1k)-N3 can be used to fabricate biodegradable polymers for long-term active molecule delivery systems, taking advantage of the slow degradation rate of PLLA and the enhanced surface hydrophilicity provided by PEG.
