Research Summary

Polyethylene oxide (PEO), also known as polyethylene glycol (PEG), is a water-soluble polymer with a repeating unit derived from ethylene oxide. PEO is characterized by its high molecular weight and flexibility. It has applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, where it is utilized as a thickening agent, binder, and solubilizer in drug formulations. PEO is also employed in the production of personal care products, such as creams and lotions, due to its emulsifying properties. Additionally, PEO is used in water treatment processes, where its ability to form complexes and enhance flocculation makes it effective in treating wastewater. The versatility of PEO stems from its water-solubility, biocompatibility, and the ability to tailor its molecular weight for specific applications, making it a widely utilized polymer in diverse fields.
