Properties
Description
PCL(1k)-PEG(1k)-COOH is an amphiphilic block copolymer with hydrophobic block made of polycaprolactone (PCL) tethered to a hydrophilic PEG. The carboxylic acid reacts with primary amines in the presence of an activator (e.g., HATU/EDC) to form an amide bond.
Molecular Weight
PCL(1 kDa), PEG(1 kDa)
Functional Group 1
Carboxylic acid
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(1k)-PEG(1k)-COOH can be used to modify the surface of biomaterials to achieve surface functionalization and biocompatibility improvement through the interaction of carboxyl groups with the material surface or biomolecules.
