General description

Poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) is a polyether. It is prepared by ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide. PPG is less toxic and used as a dispersant in leather finishing, as a surfactant, wetting agent, and in drug formulations.

Application

Poly(propylene glycol) can be used as a:
  • Corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acid solution.
  • Starting material to synthesize epoxy resin/polyurethane hybrid networks via frontal polymerization.
It can also be used to prepare poly(PEG/PPG/PTMC urethane) thermogels for sustained release of doxorubicin.

In this work, we proposed a novel aqueous biphasic system (ABS) composed of polypropylene glycol P400 (PPG P400) and hydrophilic ionic liquids (IL), 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (alkyl = ethyl or butyl), forming an upper polymer-rich phase and a lower IL-rich phase

Current treatments for cerebral aneurysms are far from ideal. Platinum coils are prone to compaction, and currently used liquid embolics are delivered with angiotoxic agents. This work presents initial in vivo studies of a novel liquid-to-solid gelling polymer system (PPODA-QT)

The controlled atom transfer radical polymerization of an ionic liquid, 1-(11-acryloylundecyl)-3-methyl imidazolium bromide (ILBr), from both ends of a telechelic poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) macroinitiator, end-functionalized with bromoisobutyryloyl is reported. The resulting highly water-soluble triblock, poly(ILBr-b-PO-b-ILBr) is multistimuli responsive. This new
