Polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA 200)
H2C=C(CH3)CO(OCH2CH2)nO2CC(CH3)=CH2
PEG-based cross-linked polymeric materials (hydrogels) are suitable carriers for drug delivery and various other biomedical applications. PEG 200 dimethacrylate (PEG200DMA) is a long-chain hydrophilic, crosslinking monomer. Molecular weight of PEG unit is approximately 200 (n=~4).
