General description

An oligomer of polyethylene glycol, tetra (ethylene glycol) (TEG) is a transparent, colorless, odorless, low volatility, hygroscopic liquid soluble in ethyl alcohol and very soluble in water.

Application

Used for the synthesis of tetraethylene glycol metha acrylate monomer.

Glow discharge plasma deposition of TEG renders surfaces resistant to protein adsorption and cellular attachment.

Disclaimer

Do not confuse with glycofurol, which is also sometimes called tetraglycol.

조직 공학과 약물 전달과 같은 생명 공학의 진보는 다양한 기능성 바이오 소재에 대한 수요 증가를 동반합니다. 연구의 집중 관심 대상이 되어온 바이오 소재의 한 분야는 바로 하이드로겔으로, 화학적으로나 물리적으로 세포의 자연 환경과 유사하게 닮아 있기 때문에 세포를 키우는 토대로 사용될 수 있습니다. 본 기술 문서에서는 일반적으로 면역 반응을 유발하지 못하기 때문에 생물학적 용도로 적합한 PEG(폴리에틸렌 글리콜) 하이드로겔에 대해 상세하게 논의합니다. PEG는 쉽게 이용할 수 있으며, 손쉽게 고분자를 수정하여 세포 배양을 위한 2D 및 3D 뼈대를 포함한 하이드로겔 구성에 광범위하게 사용할 수 있습니다. 또한 분해성 결합을 통해 치료제 출시를 위한 다양한 응용분야에도 도움을 줍니다.
