Product Description

Poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) is a bifunctional monomer composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG) backbone with methacrylate end groups. This hydrophilic crosslinker enables the formation of hydrogel networks and polymeric materials with tunable mechanical and swelling properties. PEGDMA is widely used in applications requiring biocompatibility, flexibility, and controlled permeability, making it suitable for biomedical, industrial, and coating applications.
Molecular weight of PEG unit is approximately 200 (n=~4).

Applications:

Tissue Engineering: Used as a crosslinker in hydrogel scaffolds to support cell growth and controlled release of bioactive agents.

Drug Delivery: Forms biocompatible hydrogel matrices for sustained drug release and targeted therapeutic applications.

Dental Materials: Enhances mechanical properties and durability in dental composites and adhesives.

3D Printing: Serves as a photocurable resin component for precise fabrication of biomedical and microfluidic devices.

Coatings and Adhesives: Provides hydrophilic, flexible coatings with improved adhesion and environmental stability.
