Properties
Description
PCL(1k)-PEG(8k)-PCL(1k) is an amphipathic ABA triblock copolymer containing two hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) blocks and hydrophilic PEG block. The polymer is biodegradable via- hydrolytic attack on the ester bonds.
Molecular Weight
PCL(1 kDa), PEG(8 kDa), PCL(1 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(1k)-PEG(8k)-PCL(1k) can be used in fabricating nanoparticles for enhanced molecule solubility and sustained release profiles.
