PolyVivo polymers are commercially available block copolymers and other "hard to find" polymers which are available for sale. These high-quality, biocompatible, copolymers of hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) and poly (lactide/glycolid/caprolactone) are an excellent addition to any research. Also sold here are a variety of bio-inspired and other polymers which can also be utilized for drug delivery research. Please note these are research grade polymers and are not for clinical usage.
Polyesters
Biodegradable non-block polymers.

Block Copolymers
Block copolymers synthesized so as to contain both biodegradable blocks and hydrophilic blocks. Can be used for a wide range of purposes. See our technology blog to learn more about the various applications of these copolymers.
Common uses:
Forming "stealth" pegylated microparticles 
Thermogelation

Polymer Visualization
Polymers custom designed so as to be visible under fluorescence microscopy. When polymers with fluorescent dyes grafted on them are formulated into micro/nano-particles, these particles can be observed and tracked using fluorescent microscopy or other fluorescent techniques.
Common uses:
Polymer visualization/tracking

Intermediates
Intermediates designed for your own customization. Contain chemically active or activatable endgroups for you to graft on to your own polymer or system of choice.
Common uses:
Folate-pegylation of customer item for cancer targeting
Customer endcapping with peptide ligands (must contain free thiol)
Customer functionalization for visualization or endcapping
Vinylically reactive for binding into radical chain synthesized polymers
