PCL Based Biopolymers with Extended Range and Possibilities
TS-076338 — PCL has been a key material in modern medicine and advanced medical device manufacturing. Able to degrade away slowly in the body without producing toxic residues, PCL has been used for medical implants and controlled drug release over time. However, PCL is inherently hydrophobic and has set degra…

Saccharide Based RAFT Agents: Enabling the Next Generation of Biocompatible Smart Polymers
TS-075519 — A galactose-based RAFT chain transfer agent (Gal-RAFT) that incorporates a sugar moiety at the polymer terminus, enabling the synthesis of well-defined polymers with an integrated carbohydrate handle for subsequent biological applications.
Overview Most commercial RAFT agents are designed for polymerization control, including but not limited to chain length, architecture, and dispersity, and lack biologically relevant functionality for advanced drug delivery and targeting. Hence, incorporating a targeting molecule requires separate …
