General description

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is a crystalline, thermoplastic, water-soluble polymer that is commercially available.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an eco-friendly, biodegradable polymer widely used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its non-toxic nature and versatility make it a sustainable choice, derived from renewable resources, contributing to greener product formulations. Click here for more information.

Application

PEO (Mv ~ 1,000,000, powder) can be used in the fabrication of hollow TiO2 fibers, which can be used for a variety of applications such as drug delivery, catalysts, sensors, and electric devices. It can also be used as an electrolyte for the formation of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
