Product Name
Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone)
Category
Biodegradable Polymers
Synonyms
mPEG-PCL, mPEG-b-PCL
Description
Biocompatible, amphiphilic block copolymer composed of a hydrophilic PEG block and a hydrophobic PCL block.
Molecular Formula
CH3O(CH2CH2O)n(COCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2O)mH
Application
These materials have been used as a block copolymer surfactant as well as in control release and nanoparticle formulation for drug delivery applications. Well-defined materials with varying properties can be prepared by controlling the relative length of each polymer block. Hydroxyl termination allows for facile further chemical modification of these materials.
Features And Benefits
Non-toxic and good biocompatibility
Packaging
500 mg in glass insert
