General Description
PLLA-PEG-PLLA Diacrylate is a difunctional amphiphilic triblock copolymer designed for the fabrication of biodegradable hydrogel networks and advanced biomedical materials. The hydrophobic PLLA end blocks provide biodegradability, mechanical strength, and controlled degradation, while the central PEG segment imparts excellent water solubility, flexibility, and biocompatibility.
The terminal acrylate groups enable rapid crosslinking through photopolymerization, thermal free-radical polymerization, or thiol-Michael addition, allowing the preparation of injectable hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties, swelling behavior, and degradation profiles.
PLLA-PEG-PLLA Diacrylate is widely used in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, injectable scaffolds, cell encapsulation, drug delivery, bioinks for 3D bioprinting, wound healing, and controlled release applications. The combination of biodegradable polyester blocks and a hydrophilic PEG segment provides an ideal platform for developing next-generation biomaterials.
