A series of novel triblock copolymers, consisting of a poly(ethylene glycol) center block joined by two blocks of random L-lactide/glycolide copolymers, are synthesized and their characteristics (spectral, thermal, and mechanical) determined. Polymer compositions and structures are assessed via 1 H-

## Abstract Poly(L‐lactide)‐poly(ethylene glycol) multiblock copolymers with predetermined block lengths were synthesized by polycondensation of PLA diols and PEG diacids. The reaction was carried out under mild conditions, using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as the coupling agent and dimethylaminopyrid
Poly( 1-caprolactone) -poly(ethylene glycol) -poly( 1-caprolactone) triblock copolymers (PECL) covering a wide range of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) lengths were synthesized with alkali metal alkoxide derivatives of poly(ethylene glycol). The effects of various factors, such as amount of the initiato
Copolymers with a PPG center block and two arms of random glycolide/ lactide copolymers have been synthesized and characterized. Compared to random glycolide/lactide copolymers, these new polymers have high toughness and low elastic modulus. 1 H-NMR spectral lines of glycolide CH 2 protons of the co
Poly(D,L-lactide) -poly(1-caprolactone) -poly(ethylene glycol) -poly(1-caprolactone) -poly (D,L-lactide) block copolymer (PLA-PCL-PEG-PCL-PLA) was prepared by copolymerization of 1-caprolactone (1-CL) and D,L-lactide (D,L-LA) initiated by potassium poly(ethylene glycol)ate in THF at 25ЊC. The copoly
In this study, poly( L-lactide ) -poly (ethylene glycol) (PLLA-PEG) ABA triblock copolymers with the PEG mole fraction ranging from 27 to 57% have been synthesized, and their thermal properties were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetric thermograms of copolymers obtained from specimens di
