General description

Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) is a nonlinear analog of polyethylene glycol (PEG). It is a biocompatible homopolymer with a brush type structure that is mainly used to provide a PEG modified surface.

Application

PEGMA can be used in the surface modification of poly(ether sulfone) based ultrafiltration (UF) membrane as a foul-resistant material.

Stem cell culture is typically based on batch-type culture, which is laborious and expensive. Here, we propose a continuous harvest method for stem cells cultured on thermoresponsive nanobrush surfaces. In this method, stem cells are partially detached from the nanobrush
