Acryl-PCL-PEG-Alkyne

Price range: $360.00 through $380.00

Acryl-PCL-PEG-Alkyne is a multifunctional biodegradable copolymer containing an acrylate group, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and a terminal alkyne functionality. The acrylate group enables polymerization and hydrogel formation, the PCL segment provides biodegradability and sustained release properties, the PEG spacer improves biocompatibility and aqueous dispersibility, and the alkyne group enables click chemistry conjugation. Acryl-PCL-PEG-Alkyne is widely used in hydrogel synthesis, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biomaterials research.

Description

General Description

Acryl-PCL-PEG-Alkyne is a heterotelechelic biodegradable copolymer designed for advanced biomaterials engineering and bioorthogonal conjugation applications. The acrylate functionality readily participates in free-radical polymerization, photopolymerization, and hydrogel crosslinking reactions, enabling incorporation into polymer networks and injectable biomaterials.

The PCL segment provides a biodegradable hydrophobic domain capable of modulating mechanical properties and degradation behavior, while the PEG segment improves hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and flexibility. The terminal alkyne group serves as a highly versatile bioorthogonal handle for copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and related click chemistry reactions with azide-containing molecules.

Acryl-PCL-PEG-Alkyne is frequently employed in hydrogel fabrication, tissue engineering scaffolds, nanoparticle functionalization, drug delivery systems, and advanced biomedical materials.
