PEGPPGPEGbased
PEGPPGPEGbased refers to a class of polymers that incorporate both polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG) segments within their structure. These polymers are often designed as block copolymers, meaning they consist of distinct blocks of PEG and PPG units. The specific arrangement and ratio of these blocks can significantly influence the material's properties, such as its solubility, hydrophilicity, and rheology.
The amphiphilic nature of PEGPPGPEGbased copolymers, arising from the hydrophilic PEG and the more hydrophobic PPG
In the pharmaceutical industry, PEGPPGPEGbased polymers are employed as drug delivery vehicles. They can encapsulate or
