Description
PLLA(2k)-PEG(5k)-Mal is a polymer consists of hydrophobic core (poly(L-lactide)) and hydrophilic shell (PEG). The maleimide group reacts with a thiol group to form a covalent bond, enabling the connection of biomolecule with a thiol.
Applications
PLLA(2k)-PEG(5k)-Mal can be used to prepare highly hydrophilic polymers suitable for applications requiring high solubility and biocompatibility, such as molecule delivery vehicles or hydrogel formulations.
