Properties
Description
PCL(3k)-PEG(2k)-PCL(3k) is an amphiphilic triblock copolymer containing a polycaprolactone (PCL) hydrophobic block and two PEG hydrophilic blocks. The polycaprolactone (PCL) is biodegradable via hydrolysis on the ester bonds. The reactive hydroxyl group is used for further modification.
Molecular Weight
PCL(3 kDa), PEG(2 kDa), PCL(3 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(3k)-PEG(2k)-PCL(3k) can be used to develop biosensors by integrating PEG for hydrophilicity and PCL for biocompatibility.
