General description

Poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate (PEGDA) is a long chain, hydrophilic and crosslinking monomer widelyused in tissue engineering.

Application

PEGDA is widely used as a scaffolding material for tissue engineering applications due to its biocompatibility and inherent resistance to protein adhesion.

It can be used as an alloying agent to prepare polymer membranes for gas separation applications. For example, an alloyed poly(Ether Block Amide)/ PEGDA membrane can be used for the separation of CO2/H2.

It can also be used as aprecursor to fabricate polymer electrolyte membranes(PEMs) for flexible Li-ionbatteries. The addition of PEGDA enhances the ionic conductivity, thermal stability,and mechanical toughness of PEMs.

Features and Benefits

  • Highly hydrophilic
  • Non-toxic
  • Biocompatible
  • Non-immunogenic
