Description
PLLA(10k)-PEG(1k)-Thiol features a hydrophobic PLLA segment with a molecular weight of 10 kDa, followed by a short hydrophilic PEG segment with a molecular weight of 1 kDa, and a thiol functional group at the end.
Applications
PLLA(10k)-PEG(1k)-Thiol can be used to design stimuli-responsive hydrogels for controlled active molecule release, where the high molecular weight of PLL contributes to mechanical strength while the PEG segment enhances biocompatibility and solubility.
