General description

Poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) is a hydrophobic polyether that is widely used in various biomedical areas such as preparation of biocompatible polyurethanes and lubricious coatings on absorbable sutures.

Application

Poly(propylene glycol) can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize biodegradable poly(ether-ester) networks via UV photopolymerization.
  • As a stabilizing agent in the preparation of metal nanoparticles such as gold nanoparticles.
  • As a starting material to prepare silane-terminatedpoly(urethane-urea)s (SPUR) polymers.

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
