Poly(ethylene glycol) diacid is a common organic compound with good biocompatibility, biodegradability and modifiability. It is with these properties that it can be used in a wide range of applications such as pharmaceuticals, polymers, coatings, leather and electronics, for example, cell behavior can be modulated by controlling its degree of cross-linking and structure. So what does the compound do?

The main role of polyethylene glycol diacid is reflected in the following aspects:

1, regulating drug release

Polyethylene glycol diacetic acid has strong solubility and permeability, and can be used as the coating material for capsules or tablets of drugs in the pharmaceutical field. By adjusting its structure and molecular weight, it can control the rate and pattern of drug release, prolong the sustained release time of the drug, and improve the therapeutic efficacy and patient convenience.

2, Prevent polymer gelation

The compound can also be used as a polymer dispersant to prevent the formation of gel or precipitation of polymers in solution. Appropriate addition of the compound in the process of polymer synthesis can make the reaction system more uniform, stable, improve the quality and performance of synthetic products.

3, Improve the performance of coatings.

The compound can adjust the viscosity, leveling and anti-scratch properties of the coating. Adding this compound to the coating can improve the stability and durability of the coating, making the coating more uniform, smooth, and able to resist the erosion of the external environment.

4, Accelerate the penetration of dyes

Polyethylene glycol diacetic acid has good affinity for dyes and can accelerate the penetration and diffusion of dyes in textiles, leather and paper and other materials. Also by adjusting the structure and molecular weight of the compound, it can selectively penetrate the dyes and improve the dyeing effect and color vividness.

In summary, poly(ethylene glycol) diacid is a multifunctional organic compound that has the ability to regulate drug release, prevent polymer gelation, and improve coating properties. In the current research, its application scope is still expanding, not only limited to this, but also involved in many fields such as micro and nanotechnology, optical materials and so on.
