  2. Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

    Ethylene glycol is widely used to inhibit the formation of natural gas clathrates (hydrates) in long multiphase pipelines that convey natural gas from remote gas fields to a gas processing facility. Ethylene glycol can be recovered from the natural gas and reused as an inhibitor after purification treatment that removes water and inorganic salts.

  3. Ethylene glycol (data page) - Wikipedia

    Structure and properties ... Vapor–liquid equilibrium for ethylene glycol/methanol [3] P = 760 mmHg BP temp. °C % by mole methanol liquid vapor 66.70: 93.0: 99.9

  4. Polymer-drug conjugates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer-drug_conjugates

    A cocktail of pendant drugs could be delivered by water-soluble polymer platforms. The physical and chemical properties of the polymers used in polymer-drug conjugates are specially synthesized to flow through the kidneys and liver without being filtered out, allowing the drugs to be used more effectively.

  5. Cancer prevention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_prevention

    Cancer prevention is the practice of taking active measures to decrease the incidence of cancer and mortality. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The practice of prevention depends on both individual efforts to improve lifestyle and seek preventive screening , and socioeconomic or public policy related to cancer prevention. [ 3 ]

  6. Diethylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylene_glycol

    The resulting product is two ethylene glycol molecules joined by an ether bond. [5] "Diethylene glycol is derived as a co-product with ethylene glycol (MEG) and triethylene glycol. The industry generally operates to maximize MEG production. Ethylene glycol is by far the largest volume of the glycol products in a variety of applications.

  7. Polyethylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_glycol

    Polymerization of ethylene oxide is an exothermic process. Overheating or contaminating ethylene oxide with catalysts, such as alkalis or metal oxides, can lead to runaway polymerization, which can end in an explosion after a few hours. Polyethylene oxide, or high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol, is synthesized by suspension polymerization.

  8. Diol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diol

    Examples include ethane-1,2-diol or ethylene glycol HO−(CH 2) 2 −OH, a common ingredient of antifreeze products. Another example is propane-1,2-diol, or alpha propylene glycol, HO−CH 2 −CH(OH)−CH 3, used in the food and medicine industry, as well as a relatively non-poisonous antifreeze product.

  9. Elastin-like polypeptides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastin-like_polypeptides

    Depicted above is the monomeric ELP unit. X represents an arbitrary amino acid. Polymers are formed from this pentapeptide monomeric unite. Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are synthetic biopolymers with potential applications in the fields of cancer therapy, tissue scaffolding, metal recovery, and protein purification.
