Properties
Description
PCL(6k)-PEG(1k)-PCL(6k) is a micelle-forming triblock copolymer containing a hydrophilic PEG block and two hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) blocks. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups.
Molecular Weight
PCL(6 kDa), PEG(1 kDa), PCL(6 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PCL(6k)-PEG(1k)-PCL(6k) can be used to develop systems for the controlled release of antimicrobial agents, reducing bacterial resistance.
