Poly(ethylene glycol)-containing ATRP initiator for generating a triblock copolymer with a PEG block in the center.
Uses
PEG functionalized with bromoisobutyryl group to initiate atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). This macroinitiator can be used to increase biocompatibility; hydrophilicity; or generate a triblock copolymer with PEG as the middle block.
