General description

O-(2-Mercaptoethyl)-O′-methyl-hexa(ethylene glycol), also known as mPEG thiol, is widely used in the synthesis of hydrogels and surface modification of nanoparticles.

Application

O-(2-Mercaptoethyl)-O′-methyl-hexa(ethylene glycol) can be used :
  • in PEGylation reaction to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on gold electrodes
  • as a cross linking reagent in the preparation of alginate-based hydrogel system via photoinitiated thiol-ene reaction

Photothermal stability and, therefore, consistency of both optical absorption and photoacoustic response of the plasmonic nanoabsorbers is critical for successful photoacoustic image-guided photothermal therapy. In this study, silica-coated gold nanorods were developed as a multifunctional molecular imaging and therapeutic agent
