Description
PEG15 is a linear polymer composed of 15 ethylene glycol units with terminal hydroxyl groups. Its hydrophilic ethylene glycol backbone enhances the water solubility of hydrophobic compounds, while the hydroxyl groups provide reactive sites for further chemical modifications and derivatization.
Applications
PEG15 is widely used in bioconjugation, drug delivery, and material synthesis. Its ability to increase solubility makes it ideal for stabilizing hydrophobic molecules in aqueous environments, while the terminal hydroxyl groups enable versatile functionalization for creating hydrophilic linkers and advanced biomaterials.
