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.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an eco-friendly, biodegradable polymer widely used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its non-toxic nature and versatility make it a sustainable choice, derived from renewable resources, contributing to greener product formulations. Click here for more information.
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.

Previous studies have demonstrated that Separan AP-30, a drag-reducing polymer, significantly decreased the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet. Furthermore, Separan AP-273, a polymer similar to but longer than Separan AP-30, markedly increased cardiac output in
