Properties
Description
PLA(2k)-PEG(3k)-COOH consists of 2k molecular weight poly(lactic acid) (PLA) linked to 3k molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) via a carboxyl group (COOH).The PEG portion provides good water solubility and biocompatibility, while the PLA portion provides some mechanical strength and degradability.
Molecular Weight
PLA(2 kDa), PEG(3 kDa)
Functional Group 1
Carboxylic acid
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PLA(2k)-PEG(3k)-COOH can be used to develop biocompatible hydrogels for molecule delivery or tissue engineering scaffolds, leveraging the carboxylic acid (COOH) group for further functionalization.
