General description
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 oxide) can be used:
- As a starting material to fabricate double layer nanodiamond thin film that acts as an interfacial protection layer for Li anodes.
- To enhance the surface properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) using plasma-initiated grafting.
- To prepare hydroxyapatite/poly(ethylene oxide)nanocomposites.
Features and Benefits
- High molecular weight (~300,000 Mv) offers excellent film-forming and thickening properties, ideal for controlled viscosity in formulations.
- Offered in powder form for easy to handle, measure, and dissolve, ensuring consistent dispersion in aqueous systems.
- Contains BHT as inhibitor to prevent oxidative degradation hence longer shelf life
- Hydroxyl terminated- Provides reactive end groups for potential chemical modifications or cross-linking in advanced applications.
- Suitable for thermal processing without compromising structural integrity.

Additive manufacturing technologies based on layer-by-layer deposition of material ejected from a nozzle provide unmatched versatility but are limited in terms of printing speed and resolution. Electrohydrodynamic jetting uniquely allows generating submicrometer jets that can reach speeds above 1 m s-1, but

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
