PLA(8k)-PEG(8k)-PLA(8k) contains hydrophilic PEG block in between hydrophobic PLA (racemic) blocks. Upon dispersion in water, the polymer can self-assemble to form micelles and can be used to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs. The ester bonds of PLA is biodegradable via hydrolysis. This polymer can be used to prepare drug-loaded nanoparticles for controlled release drug delivery. Reagent grade, for research purpose.
