Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PMEM) is a polymer monomer that can be polymerized with a variety of components for biochemical research. PBI-P(PEGMA) polymers prepared with perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisimide (PBI) as an initiator have strong fluorescence in water and can be used as an effective biological dye for cell labeling[1].
Polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate, is used as Emulsion polymers, cosmetics, construction, emulsifiers.
ChEBI: Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate is a poly(ethylene glycol) compound having a methacrylate group at the alpha-terminus and a methyl group at the omega-terminus.
Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) is a nonlinear analog of polyethylene glycol (PEG). It is a biocompatible homopolymer with a brush type structure that is mainly used to provide a PEG modified surface.
