Properties
Description
PCL(1k)-PEG(2k)-PCL(1k) is a linear triblock copolymer with both hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) and hydrophilic PEG blocks. The polycaprolactone (PCL) is biodegradable via hydrolysis on the ester bonds.
Molecular Weight
PCL(1 kDa), PEG(2 kDa), PCL(1 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(1k)-PEG(2k)-PCL(1k) can be used to construct nanocarriers for targeted molecule delivery, utilizing the dual functionality of PCL and PEG to improve effects.
