Description
PCL(5k)-PEG(2k)-COOH is a self-assembling block copolymer containing a polycaprolactone (PCL) segment and a PEG hydrophilic block. The carboxyl group and the amine react in the presence of an activator (e.g., HATU/EDC) to form an amide bond.
Applications
PCL(5k)-PEG(2k)-COOH can be used in the field of new material research, such as adjusting the ratio and molecular weight of PCL and PEG, as well as the introduction of carboxyl functional groups, to regulate the degradation rate, mechanical properties and surface properties of the materials, and to satisfy the needs of different applications on the properties of the materials.
