Description

General description

Poly(ethylene glycol) diamine (PEGD) is a non-toxic biopolymer which has properties such as biocompatibility and biodegradability. It can be reacted with crosslinking agents to form a three dimensional mesh that can be used in drug delivery systems. It can also be used as a non-ionic surfactant for a variety of biological applications.

Application

PEGD can be used as a crosslinked hydrogel and as a substrate in tissue engineering and biomedical applications.
