Properties
Description
PCL(3k)-PEG(3k)-PCL(3k) is a biocompatible ABA triblock copolymer containing a hydrophilic PEG block and two polycaprolactone (PCL) blocks. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups.
Molecular Weight
PCL(3 kDa), PEG(3 kDa), PCL(3 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(3k)-PEG(3k)-PCL(3k) can be used to develop hydrogels, due to its unique combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions.
