Oligomer Synthesis
Functional (or functionalized) oligomers are becoming more important in the fields of drug
delivery or release, gene therapy, and cancer therapy, etc. For these applications, oligomers
are usually desired to possess some unique attributes, e.g., very low molecular weight,
narrow molecular weight distribution, containing functional groups, well defined structure,
proper hydrophilicity or amphiphilicity, etc. That is why synthesizing oligomers involves a lot of
technical challenges. Due to our rich experiences in various special polymerization
techniques, CM-Tec has been providing strong synthetic supports to our clients to meet their
broad needs.
In order to synthesize functional oligomers, some special techniques are often applied, for
instance, synthetic method design, functional group protection / deprotection, controlled
polymerization, anaerobic and anhydrous operation, preparative gel permeation
chromatographic (GPC) separation, and so forth. Good readiness in these technical aspects
makes CM-Tec be able to facilitate its customers achieve their outsourcing goals in this field.
