Properties
Description
Isocyanate-PEG-mannose, alternatively named mannose-PEG-isocyanate, is a specialized construct where mannose is coupled via a 4 kDa PEG linker to an isocyanate moiety. This hybrid leverages mannose's specificity, PEG's stealth, and isocyanate's reactivity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 4 kDa
Functional Group
Isocyanate
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Applications
Mannose-PEG-isocyanate can be used to balance hydrogel stiffness and permeability by adjusting acrylate-PEG molecular weight.
