Description
HO-PPG1-PEG2-PPG1-OH is a block copolymer featuring one polypropylene glycol (PPG) unit on each end and two ethylene glycol (PEG) units in the center, terminated with hydroxyl groups. The combination of PPG and PEG units provides amphiphilic properties, enhancing solubility in both polar and non-polar solvents. The terminal hydroxyl groups allow for versatile chemical modifications.
Applications
HO-PPG1-PEG2-PPG1-OH is used in surface modification, drug delivery, and polymer synthesis. Its amphiphilic nature makes it suitable for emulsifiers and stabilizers, while the hydroxyl groups enable further derivatization, ideal for creating advanced materials and hydrophilic linkers in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
