Description

Application

Triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (TEGME) was used in the following studies:

• To study the structural and thermosensitive properties of phosphazene derivatives having glycol and amino acids groups.
• Synthesis of amphiphilic o-phenylene ethylene oligomers.
• Preparation of pegylated zinc(II) phthalocyanines.
• Modification of 2-OH positions in cyclodextrin thioethers, which are used for transport of hydrophobic drugs.
• Functionalizing polymethacrylic acid (PMMA), hence increasing inhibition in crack generation in TEGMA-PMMA compared to unmodified PMMA electrodes.
• Preparation of difunctionalized ionic liquids (ILs).
• As terminal groups for cationic dendrons, which was further used to encapsulate an inorganic polyanionic cluster.
