Usage

Description

POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL) METHYL ETHER ACRYLATE, commonly known as PEGMA, is a versatile monomer derived from polyethylene glycol (PEG) and methyl acrylate. It possesses unique properties such as hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and tunable molecular weight, making it a valuable component in various applications across different industries.

Uses

Used in Chemical Synthesis Industry:
POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL) METHYL ETHER ACRYLATE is used as a raw material for chemical synthesis, providing a hydrophilic and biocompatible platform for the development of new compounds and materials.
Used in Biomedical Applications:
POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL) METHYL ETHER ACRYLATE is used as a substrate material for the development of molecular brushes, which are employed in creating stimuli-responsive surfaces. These surfaces have potential applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and other biomedical fields due to their ability to respond to specific environmental triggers.
Used in Surface Modification of Membranes:
POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL) METHYL ETHER ACRYLATE is used as a foul-resistant material in the surface modification of poly(ether sulfone) based ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. The incorporation of PEGMA enhances the membrane's resistance to fouling, improving its performance and longevity in various filtration processes.
