4-Arm PEG-Methacrylate is a multiarm PEG derivative with methacrylate groups at each terminal of the four arms connected to one pentaerythritol core. The 4arm-PEG methacrylate can be used for radical initiator or UV light induced polymerization to synthesize PEG hydrogel.4-Methoxyphenol or MeHQ at ~ 200 ppm is added as inhibitors.
