Description Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and its copolymers are among the most studied biodegradable polymers. PLLA is a crystalline polymer with good mechanical properties. The applications of PLLA are mainly concentrated in biomedical applications.
Application Biocompatible, amphiphilic block copolymer composed of a hydrophilic PEG block and a hydrophobic poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) block. These materials have been used in control release and nanoparticle formulation for drug encapsulation and 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
