"Brush copolymers composed of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) have been synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone initiated by hydroxyl function of thermally esterified MPEG-citrate in presence of stannous octoate. Citric acid (CA) acts as spacer between brush-like MPEG and the long chain of PCL," scientists in South Korea report.
"Existence of hydrophobic domains as cores of the micelles were characterized by H-1 NMR spectroscopy and further confirmed with fluorescence technique using pyrene as a probe. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the synthesized copolymer decreased from 0.019 to ...
