Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO), is a versatile polyether compound with a wide range of applications across various industries. Its chemical structure is commonly represented as H−(O−CH2−CH2)n−OH. Due to its solubility in both organic and aqueous solvents, PEG is extensively studied and utilized, particularly as a drug delivery vehicle. It is known for its hydrophilic properties, which make it effective in reducing the hydrophobicity of other polymers. This enhances cell adhesion and proliferation on biomaterial scaffolds by preventing protein adsorption—a process where proteins adhere to and denature on the surface of materials.
