Application

  • Water-Insoluble, Thermostable, Crosslinked Gelatin Matrix for Soft Tissue Implant Development.: This study explores the use of Poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) in creating thermostable, water-insoluble gelatin matrices for soft tissue implants. The research highlights PEGDE′s effectiveness as a crosslinking agent, enhancing the biocompatibility and mechanical properties of the matrix (Varga et al., 2024).
  • Alumina Incorporation in Self-Supported Poly(ethylenimine) Sorbents for Direct Air Capture.: Although not directly focused on PEGDE, this study includes it as a part of the sorbent material formulation, demonstrating its versatility in industrial applications beyond biomedical fields (Narayanan et al., 2024).
  • Lignin-Based Hydrogels for the Delivery of Bioactive Chaga Mushroom Extract.: This research utilizes PEGDE to enhance the properties of lignin-based hydrogels, which are used for controlled delivery of bioactive compounds. The study showcases PEGDE′s role in improving the hydrogel′s stability and release characteristics (Nagardeolekar et al., 2024).
  • Ductile, High-Lignin-Content Thermoset Films and Coatings.: This study investigates the use of PEGDE in developing high-lignin-content thermoset films and coatings, emphasizing its application in creating durable and flexible materials for industrial use (Boarino et al., 2023).
  • Developing Mixed Matrix Membranes with Good CO2 Separation Performance Based on PEG-Modified UiO-66 MOF and 6FDA-Durene Polyimide.: This article discusses the use of PEGDE in modifying metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for mixed matrix membranes, highlighting its potential in enhancing CO2 separation performance, crucial for environmental and industrial applications (Veetil et al., 2023).
