PEG 400 is strongly hydrophilic.The partition coefficient of PEG 400 between hexane and water is 0.000015 (log =), indicating that when PEG 400 is mixed with water and hexane, there are only 15 parts of PEG400 in the hexane layer per 1 million parts of PEG 400 in the water layer.
PEG has been used as the hydrophilic block of amphiphilic block copolymers used to create some polymersomes. [18] PEG is a component of the propellent used in UGM-133M Trident II Missiles, in service with the United States Navy. [19] PEG has been used as a solvent for aryl thioether synthesis. [20]
The "upper phase" is formed by the more hydrophobic polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is of lower density than the "lower phase," consisting of the more hydrophilic and denser dextran solution. Although PEG is inherently denser than water, it occupies the upper layer.
For example, the system triethylamine-water has an LCST of 19 °C, so that these two substances are miscible in all proportions below 19 °C but not at higher temperatures. [1] [2] The nicotine-water system has an LCST of 61 °C, and also a UCST of 210 °C at pressures high enough for liquid water to exist at that temperature. The components ...
Poloxamer 407 is a hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant of the more general class of copolymers known as poloxamers.Poloxamer 407 is a triblock copolymer consisting of a central hydrophobic block of polypropylene glycol flanked by two hydrophilic blocks of polyethylene glycol (PEG).
Superabsorbent polymer powder. A superabsorbent polymer (SAP) (also called slush powder) is a water-absorbing hydrophilic homopolymers or copolymers [1] that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of a liquid relative to its own mass.
CAIRO/GAZA (Reuters) -Gazans saw little hope on Friday that International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Israeli leaders would slow down the onslaught on the Palestinian territory, where ...
The octanol-water partition coefficient, usually expressed as its logarithm (Log P), is a measure of differential solubility of a compound in a hydrophobic solvent and a hydrophilic solvent (water). The logarithm of these two values enables compounds to be ranked in terms of hydrophilicity (or hydrophobicity).
