Usage

Description

POLY(CAPROLACTONE) DIOL, AVERAGE M.N. 2000, also known as PCL-diol, is a biodegradable, ε-caprolactone-based polymer with a molecular weight of approximately 2000. It is characterized by its white waxy solid appearance and features two terminal hydroxyl units. These hydroxyl groups enable it to be readily functionalized or used in the synthesis of more complex polymers, such as polyurethanes. Due to its high aliphatic content and molecular weight, PCL-diol exhibits increased stability in vivo and a high glass transition temperature (Tg).
