Role of the branched PEG-b-PLLA chain in morphological structures and thermodynamics for PEG-b-PLLA-g-glucose copolymers with different architectures

Abstract

The branched poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic acid)-glucose (PEG-b-PLLA-g-glucose) copolymers were synthesized by using CDI as the bonding agent. The specific presumed structural clustering according to the architectures of the PEG-b-PLLA-g-glucose copolymers.
