General description

Poly(ethylene glycol) is a nontoxic and non-biodegradable polymer, which can find applications in drug delivery systems.

Application


  • Poly(ethylene glycol) in biomaterials synthesis: Research showcases the development of disulfide-cross-linked tetra-PEG gels, highlighting the utility of poly(ethylene glycol) in creating advanced biomaterials that are biocompatible and functional for various biomedical applications (Meng et al., 2024).

  • PEGylation reagents for drug delivery: PEG is employed in the formation of hybrid polymersomes for mRNA delivery, demonstrating its critical role in enhancing the stability and cellular uptake of therapeutic agents, thereby improving treatment efficacy and safety (Shin et al., 2024).

  • Polyethylene glycol for organic synthesis: PEG is used in solvent-free sample preparations for MALDI-TOF MS of polymer blends, facilitating cleaner and more environmentally friendly processes in polymer analysis and characterization (Dalgic and Weidner, 2024).

  • PEG reagents for protein modification: PEG-based block copolymers are synthesized for drug delivery applications, where PEGylation significantly increases the solubility and stability of therapeutic molecules, enhancing their pharmacological profiles (Parcero-Bouzas et al., 2024).

  • Poly(ethylene glycol) in biotechnology: PEG is integrated into bioplastic formulations to improve the crystallization, thermal, and mechanical properties of poly(L-lactide) bioplastics, underscoring its versatility and importance in developing sustainable materials (Pakkethati et al., 2024).
