Properties
Description
PCL(5k)-PEG(8k)-PCL(5k) is a triblock amphipathic polymer containing two hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) block and a hydrophilic PEG block. The reactive hydroxyl group is used for further modification.
Molecular Weight
PCL(5 kDa), PEG(8 kDa), PCL(5 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(5k)-PEG(8k)-PCL(5k) can be used in the development of active molecular carriers to customize the rate of molecular release by modulating the ratio of PCL and PEG chain segments.
