Properties
Description
PCL(4k)-PEG(4k)-PCL(4k) is an triblock polymer with a central hydrophilic PEG block and two terminal hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) blocks. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups.
Molecular Weight
PCL(4 kDa), PEG(4 kDa), PCL(4 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(4k)-PEG(4k)-PCL(4k) has good biodegradability, biocompatibility and film-forming properties, and forms a stable film as a carrier for cells, which is used to prepare tissue engineering scaffold materials.
