Properties
Description
PLLA(1k)-PEG(6k)-PLLA(1k) combines a low molecular weight PLLA (1k) with a high molecular weight PEG (6k) and another segment of PLLA (polylactic-co-lactic acid) with the same molecular weight (1k).
Molecular Weight
PLLA(1 kDa), PEG(6 kDa), PLLA(1 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PLLA(1k)-PEG(6k)-PLLA(1k) has a good biocompatibility and slow degradation rate, which makes it suitable for the development of molecular delivery systems that require long release times.
