Properties
Description
PLLA(6k)-PEG(4k)-PLLA(6k) consists of two 6k molecular weight poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) units sandwiched by a 4k molecular weight PEG unit. This triblock copolymer can be used to construct nanocarriers with specific functions.
Molecular Weight
PLLA(6 kDa), PEG(4 kDa), PLLA(6 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PLLA(6k)-PEG(4k)-PLLA(6k) can be used to enhance the crystallization behavior and improve the mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLLA) for active molecule delivery systems or tissue engineering scaffolds.
