General description

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a synthetic, hydrophilic, biocompatible polymer that has a wide range of uses in PEGylation, surface conjugation, nanoparticle coating, and crosslinking for hydrogels, etc. PEGs are made by polymerizing ethylene oxide via a ring-opening reaction.

Application

Poly(ethylene glycol) avg mol wt 8,000 can be used as:      
  • A stabilizing agent in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles via solid-state oxidation of silver nitrate.     
  • A reaction medium in the synthesis of dibenz[b,f]-1,4-oxazepine via base-catalyzed cyclization of 2-fluoro benzaldehyde and 2-amino phenol.      
  • A surfactant to prepare PEGylated CuO nanoparticles via hydrothermal method using Cu(NO3)2 as a precursor salt.
