Properties
Description
PCL(5k)-PEG(2k)-MAL is a self-assembling block copolymer with polycaprolactone (PCL) as hydrophobic segment and PEG as hydrophilic block. The maleimide group reacts with a thiol group to form a covalent bond, enabling the connection of biomolecule with a thiol.
Molecular Weight
PCL(5 kDa), PEG(2 kDa)
Functional Group 1
Maleimide
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(5k)-PEG(2k)-MAL can be used to modify surfaces of biomaterials to reduce non-specific protein adsorption and improve biocompatibility.
