General description

Poly(ethylene glycol) is a nontoxic and water-soluble polymer, which may find applications in drug delivery systems.

Application


  • Disulfide-Cross-Linked Tetra-PEG Gels: Recent advancements in biocompatible polymers include the development of disulfide-cross-linked tetra-PEG gels, which hold significant potential in drug delivery systems due to their enhanced mechanical properties and stability (Meng et al., 2024).

  • Solvent-Free Sample Preparation for Polymer Analysis: Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been utilized in innovative solvent-free sample preparations for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, improving the analysis of polymer blends essential in biotechnological applications (Dalgic and Weidner, 2024).

  • Mammalian Cell Membrane Hybrid Polymersomes: PEG-based mammalian cell membrane hybrid polymersomes have been developed for mRNA delivery, showcasing the utility of PEG in creating biocompatible and efficient drug delivery vehicles (Shin et al., 2024).

  • Modular Synthesis of PEG-Dendritic Block Copolymers: The modular synthesis of PEG-dendritic block copolymers for drug delivery demonstrates the versatility of PEG in forming tailored nanostructures for targeted therapeutic applications (Parcero-Bouzas et al., 2024).

  • Improvement in Bioplastics Properties: Poly(ethylene glycol) has been employed to enhance the crystallization, thermal, and mechanical properties of bioplastics, highlighting its role in advancing polymer research for sustainable materials development (Pakkethati et al., 2024).
