Description
Hydroxy-PEG3-acrylate is a PEG linker featuring a terminal hydroxyl group and an acrylate group. The hydroxyl group enables versatile chemical modifications, while the acrylate group participates in Michael addition and polymerization reactions. The PEG3 spacer enhances hydrophilicity and solubility in aqueous environments.
Applications
Hydroxy-PEG3-acrylate is used in polymer synthesis, surface modification, and drug delivery. Its acrylate group facilitates crosslinking and polymerization, while the hydroxyl group supports further functionalization, making it ideal for creating hydrophilic linkers and advanced materials in biomedical and pharmaceutical research.
