Abstract: The research work on poly(lactic acid)-polyethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) block copolymers and its application as microsphere carriers were reviewed. The synthesis methods of PLA-PEG were described in details, including the polycondensation of lactide and PEG, the polycondensation of lactic acid and PEG, the polycondensation of lactide and ethylene oxide. The properties of PLA-PEG block copolymers and their applications in biomedical fields, such as drug delivery system, bone fixing, tissue repairing, and surgical mending~simply introduced. The prospect of these polymers was also discussed.

Key words: polyethylene glycol), poly(lactic acid), block copolymer
