Poly(L-lactide)OH - Introduction
Poly(L-lactide)OH(Poly(L-lactide)OH) is a polymer with hydroxyl (-OH) end groups. It is formed from L-lactic acid molecules by polymerization.
Nature, Poly(L-lactide)OH is a solid substance, usually white or light yellow granular or powder. It has excellent thermal stability, solvent resistance and biodegradability. In addition, it also has good drug loading capacity and biocompatibility.
In terms of application, Poly(L-lactide)OH is often used in drug controlled release systems, and can be used to prepare microspheres, nanoparticles, stents and other carriers for controlled release of drugs. It can also be used in the fields of tissue engineering, biomedicine and medical devices.
Preparation method, Poly(L-lactide)OH can be obtained by chemical synthesis or biological synthesis. In the chemical synthesis method, the L-lactic acid monomer is first polymerized to form a polymer, and then the hydroxyl end group is introduced by hydroxylation reaction. In the biosynthetic method, it is possible to synthesize by fermentation using an appropriate microbial species.
Regarding safety, Poly(L-lactide)OH is a biodegradable polymer and is generally considered to be non-toxic to the human body. However, if it is used in medical devices or drug controlled release systems, it is necessary to consider its biocompatibility and drug interactions and other factors according to the specific use to ensure safe use. In the use of the process, should still comply with the relevant safety procedures.
