Application

δ-Valerolactone (tetrahydro-2H-2-pyranone or δ VL) can be used as a monomer unit in the synthesis of poly(δ-valerolactone)s poly(conjugated ester)s via ring-opening polymerization.[1][2]
It can also be used as a starting material in the synthesis of (+)-guadinomic acid [3], sodium δ-hydroxyvalerate [4], methyl δ-hydroxyvalerate [5], and 5-hydroxyvaleraldehyde.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-conjugated copolymer micelles were prepared from a mixture of diblock copolymers of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(delta-valerolactone) (MePEG-b-PVL) and EGF-PEG-b-PVL for targeted delivery to EGF receptor (EGFR)-overexpressing cancers. The block copolymers and functionalized block copolymers were synthesized using PEG

BETA-cyclodextrin (beta-CD)-based nanosphere 1 initiated the oligomerization of delta-valerolactone (delta-VL) on the surface of 1 to give oligo(delta-VL)-tethered beta-CD nanosphere 2 in bulk. Atomic force microscopy indicated that the molecular size of 2 is twice that of 1. The addition

Six amphiphilic diblock copolymers based on methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MePEG) and poly(delta-valerolactone) (PVL) with varying hydrophilic and hydrophobic block lengths were synthesized via a metal-free cationic polymerization method. MePEG-b-PVL copolymers were synthesized using MePEG with Mn = 2000 or Mn

We present the synthesis of discrete functionalized polyester nanoparticles in selected nanoscale size dimensions via a controlled intermolecular chain cross-linking process. The novel technique involves the controlled coupling of epoxide functionalized polyesters with 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine) to give well-defined nanoparticles with narrow

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
