Acrylate-PEG-Acrylate is a linear bifunctional crosslinking PEG reagent with two acrylate ( AC ) groups that can be used for radical initiator induced polymerization or UV light sensitive photopolymerization. It is often used to form crosslinked polymer network and preapre PEG hydrogel. Methacrylate-PEG-methacrylate is provided through our custom synthesis service. 4-Methoxyphenol or MeHQ at ~ 200 ppm is added as inhibitors.
