Application

Poly(propylene glycol) can be used:
  • As a plasticizer as it does not crystalize, has a low glass transition temperature, and is biocompatible. For example, it can be used in the plasticization of polylactic acid.
  • To prepare the aqueous biphasic system for the recovery of ectoine from Halomonas salina cells.
  • To study the virtual transition from supramolecular polymer(PPG) toconventional polymer(PPO).

This study examines the in vitro characteristics of a crosslinking polymer system for cerebral aneurysm embolization. The polymeric material is composed of poly(propylene glycol)diacrylate (PPODA) and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) (QT), formulated with the liquid contrast agents Conray™ or Omnipaque™ 300.

We show here that complementary interactions can suppress mesoscopic order and thus lead to a counterintuitive change in material properties. We present results for telechelic supramolecular polymers based on poly(propylene oxide) (PPO), thymine (Thy), and diaminotriazine (DAT). The self-complementary systems

The designed DNA sequences can make DNA-b-PPO undergo in situ transition between diblock and triblock upon pH changes, consequently, induce a morphology-shifting from spherical micelles to nanofibers. This process is reversible and the assembled structures have been characterized by CD
