m-PEG5-triethyoxysilane CAS:2249926-64-3 linker contains a triethoxysilane moiety. Triethoxysilane is commonly used for surface modifications. The mPEG modification increase the solubility of a compound in aqueous media and improves the hydrophilicity of the silane modified surfaces.
M-PEG5-triethyoxysilane contains a triethoxysilane functional group (-Si(OC2H5)3) attached to the middle carbon atom of a PEG chain. The triethoxysilane group is known for its ability to react with silica surfaces and other silane-containing materials.
M-PEG5-triethyoxysilane has been extensively utilized in the development of drug delivery systems and biomedical devices. Its unique chemical properties allow for the covalent attachment of PEG chains to silica surfaces, resulting in improved biocompatibility and reduced immune response. This is particularly important in the design of drug delivery systems and medical implants, as the attachment of PEG chains to these surfaces can increase the circulation time of drugs in the body and reduce the risk of rejection or infection.
M-PEG5-triethyoxysilane has also been employed as a crosslinker in the development of hydrogels and other biomaterials. Its ability to react with other silane-containing molecules allows for the creation of stable and durable hydrogel networks, which can be used in a variety of biomedical applications.
