Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
PEG also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight. The structure of PEG is commonly expressed as H−(O−CH2−CH2)n−OH, n indicating the average number of oxyethylene groups. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) compounds are used in many industrial and biomedical applications. PEGs are water-soluble, nonionic, relatively inert, liquids or solids.
