Hydrophilic and amphiphilic Polymers

hydrophilic and amphiphilic (or amphipathic) polymers are friendly to aqueous liquids and
hydrophilic application conditions. Particularly, due to the combined features of hydrophobic
and hydrophilic groups or chain sections, amphiphilic polymers may demonstrate excellent
biocompatibility, which is an important merit for controlled drug release and many other
valuable applications.

Hydrophilic Polymers
Hydrophilic polymers are synthesized to contain hydrophilic units or groups, e.g., ethylene
oxide unit, carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino, groups, etc. Therefore they can easily dissolve in water or
aqueous solutions. Water-soluble polymers can be used as thickeners, wetting agents,
colloidal dispersants, water descaling agents, etc., in medicine, food, cosmetic, coating, ink,
and other products or processes.

Amphiphilic Polymers
Incorporating certain amounts of hydrophobic comonomers to the hydrophilic polymers leads
to amphiphilic (or amphipathic) copolymers that prefer to be located at interfaces between oil
and water. This feature is a great benefit to controlled drug release, gene therapy, and cancer
therapy, etc.

To meet extensive needs in this area, we are continuously expanding our
product base;
meanwhile,  we endeavor to provide high quality contract services in hydrophilic and
amphiphilic polymer design and synthesis, and related sample analysis.
