Description
Triethylene glycol is a polymer composed of three ethylene glycol units with two terminal hydroxyl groups. Its hydrophilic PEG chain enhances water solubility, making it suitable for use in aqueous environments. The hydroxyl groups allow for versatile chemical derivatization and functionalization.
Applications
Triethylene glycol is widely used in bioconjugation, surface modification, and polymer synthesis. Its terminal hydroxyl groups provide reactive sites for creating hydrophilic linkers, stabilizing compounds, and designing advanced materials in pharmaceutical and biomedical research.
