mPEG-Methacrylate

Methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-methacrylate (mPEG-Methacrylate) is a monofunctional precision PEG derivative with a defined chain length. One end bears a methoxy group. The other end bears a methacrylate group. Discrete chain lengths with different degrees of polymerization are available. The methacrylate can undergo radical polymerization or copolymerization, covalently incorporating the PEG segment into polymer materials. Capping one end defines the direction of derivatization, enabling the hydrophilic PEG segment to be attached to a target molecule and functional linkers of the required length to be constructed.
