Biocompatible and Biodegradable Triblock Copolymers via ATRP
Abstract:
Novel well-defined ABA-type triblock copolymers, (PMAIPGal-b-PLA-b-PMAIPGal), were synthesized by a three-step procedure: (a) melt polycondensation of L-lactic acid using stannous chloride (SnCl2•2H2O) as a catalyst, resulting in a hydroxyl-terminated prepolymer by alkyd condensation with 1,4-butanediol, followed by (b) esterification of the PLA hydroxyl end-groups with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide, and (c) ATRP of 6-O-methacryloyl-1,2;3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-D-galactopyranose (MAIPGal) by the bromoisobutyryl initiating groups. The resultant copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The biocompatible and biodegradable copolymers have potential applications as tissue engineering biomaterials or controlled release drug delivery systems.
