Abstract:
PURPOSE: A biodegradable lactide(glycolide or lactide/glycolide)/ε-caprolactone multiblock copolymer having the uniform structural array and its preparation method are provided, wherein the copolymer shows excellent flexibility and elasticity and has a suitable degradation period applicable to a medical material. CONSTITUTION: The biodegradable multiblock copolymer is represented by -(A-COO-PCL-COO)n-, wherein A is polylactide, polyglycolide or polylactide/polyglycolide; PCL is poly(ε-caprolactone); and n is an integer of 2-2,000. Preferably the multiblock copolymer has a molecular weight of 2,000-500,000. The method comprises the steps of introducing an acyl halide to the end of polylactide, polyglycolide or polylactide/polyglycolide, or poly(ε-caprolactone); and coupling the introduced acyl halide with the hydroxy group of the end of the corresponding poly(ε-caprolactone) or polylactide, polyglycolide or polylactide/polyglycolide.
