PEG dihydroxyl, Mp 2000

PEG Dihydroxyl (HO-PEG-OH) is a linear polyethylene glycol with hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups at both ends, providing a versatile precursor for further chemical modifications. Its hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity make it an ideal material for hydrogels, drug delivery systems, and biomaterials. The hydroxyl groups enable esterification, etherification, and urethane formation, allowing for a broad range of functionalization.

Applications:
Polymer Synthesis & Hydrogel Formation: Serves as a base material for PEG-based hydrogels, adhesives, and biodegradable polymers.
Drug Delivery & Conjugation: Acts as a precursor for functionalized PEGs used in drug and nanoparticle conjugation.
Surface Modification: Enhances biocompatibility and hydrophilicity of coatings for medical implants and biosensors.
Tissue Engineering: Used in crosslinked polymer networks for scaffold development in regenerative medicine.
