Poly(ethylene glycol) (5000) monomethyl ether monomethacrylate

Poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether monomethacrylate (PEG-MEMA) is a functional methacrylate monomer with a hydrophilic PEG chain and a polymerizable methacrylate group. The PEG segment imparts water solubility, flexibility, and biocompatibility, while the methacrylate group enables copolymerization in UV-curable and free-radical polymerization systems.

Applications:

Hydrogels & Biomedical Polymers: Used in biocompatible hydrogels and drug delivery systems.
Coatings & Adhesives: Enhances flexibility, hydrophilicity, and anti-fouling properties.
Surface Modification & Functional Polymers: Improves water retention and biocompatibility in specialty polymers.
