All diblock copolymers have narrow polydispersity (PDI = 1.10). N is the degree of polymerization (number of repeating monomeric units) of PEG blocks, Mw(PEG) is the molecular weight of the PEG blocks, m is the degree of polymerization (number of repeating monomeric units) of PLL blocks, Mw(PLL) is the molecular weight of PLL, and Mw(PEGn-b-PLLm) is the molecular weight of the entire copolymer.
