Expert Verdict
PEG-polycaprolactone copolymers are biodegradable and generally well-tolerated. Standard PEG impurity concerns (1,4-dioxane, ethylene oxide). Sebacate esters are well-established emollients with low irritation potential.. Amphiphilic block copolymer combining hydrophilic PEG-100 blocks with hydrophobic polycaprolactone-sebacate segments; capable of self-assembly into micelles or nanoparticles for active delivery; the biodegradable polycaprolactone segment provides controlled release character...
