A Selection Guide for Polyethylene Glycol (PEG): Functional Groups, Architecture, and Applications
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a non-toxic, hydrophilic polymer composed of repeating ethylene oxide units. Its outstanding water solubility, biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity make it an indispensable material in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and materials science. However, the optimal performance of PEG in specific applications depends on careful selection based on structure, molecular...
