Family 01 · CAS 9067-32-7

Sodium hyaluronate

Non-animal, bacterial-fermentation hyaluronate in four documented grades. Molecular weight decides viscosity and residence time, so the grade follows the application rather than the other way round.

  • MW 15–1645 kDa — eye grade highest, coating grade lowest
  • Endotoxin ≤ 0.05 EU/mg on sterile and eye grades
  • Packaging 10 g – 25 kg · lead time 2–3 weeks

Family 02 · CAS 26780-50-7

PLGA polymers

Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) in four monomer ratios and two end-group chemistries, plus PDLLA and PCL homopolymers. Ratio sets the degradation pace, end group the release profile, IV the processability.

  • L:G 50:50 → 85:15 · resorption 3 weeks to 6 months
  • Acid or ester terminated — faster erosion vs. flatter release
  • IV 0.16–0.75 dL/g for microspheres through extrusion

Family 03 · poly(2-oxazoline)

Hydrogels from oxazolines

Poly(2-oxazoline) networks crosslinked with our own bis-oxazoline monomers — a PEG alternative with low protein adsorption. Swelling, stiffness and gel time are set independently by side chain and crosslink density.

  • Swelling 8–40 g/g · gel fraction above 90%
  • Gel time 4–22 min at 37 °C, water or PBS only
  • Custom crosslink density on project basis
