Description and Uses

Polyethylene glycols are a family of linear polymers formed by a base-catalyzed condensation reaction with repeating ethylene oxide units being added to ethylene. The molecular formula is (C2H4O)multH2O where mult denotes the average number of oxyethylene groups. The molecular weight can range from 200 to several million corresponding to the number of oxyethylene groups. The higher-molecular-weight materials (100 000 to 5 000 000) are also referred to as polyethylene oxides. The average molecular weight of any specific polyethylene glycol product falls within quite narrow limits (°5%). The number of ethylene oxide units or their approximate molecular weight (e.g., PEG-4 or PEG-200) commonly designates the nomenclature of specific polyethylene glycols. Polyethylene glycols with amolecular weight less than 600 are liquid, whereas those of molecular weight 1000 and above are solid. These materials are nonvolatile, water-soluble, tasteless, and odorless. They are miscible with water, alcohols, esters, ketones, aromatic solvents, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, but immiscible with alkanes, paraffins, waxes, and ethers.

Used in conjunction with carbon black to form a conductive composite.1 Polymer nanospheres of poly(ethylene glycol) were used for drug delivery.2
