polüetüleenglükooli
Polüetüleenglükool, often abbreviated as PEG, is a polyether compound with the general formula H-(OCH2CH2)n-OH. It is synthesized through the polymerization of ethylene oxide. PEG exists as a viscous liquid or a waxy solid, depending on its molecular weight. It is soluble in water and many organic solvents, making it a versatile ingredient in various applications.
The properties of PEG vary significantly with its molecular weight. Lower molecular weight PEGs are liquids,
In the pharmaceutical industry, PEG is used as an excipient, a carrier for drug delivery, and as
