Synthesize of Carboxymethyl Chitosan-Graft-Polycaprolactone (CMCS-g-PCL) and the Preparation of Micelles

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, we synthesized carboxymethyl chitosan-graft-poly(ε-caprolactone) (CMCS-g-PCL) by grafting ε-CL onto the hydroxyl groups of CMCS via ring-opening polymerization. The graft copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Then use the graft copolymer to produce the micelle by solvent-evaporation method. The DLS and TEM were utilized to evaluate the particle size and morphology and showed that the micelles were in a well-defined spherical shape with a uniform size distribution. The results indicated that the size of range is below 200 nm and could be used as drug carrier and have better active cellular uptake.
