Description
General Description
Silane-PEG-OH is a silane-functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative containing a terminal hydroxyl group. The silane moiety enables covalent attachment to hydroxyl-containing inorganic surfaces such as silica, glass, and metal oxides, while the PEG spacer improves hydrophilicity and biocompatibility.
Key Properties
- Silane-functionalized PEG reagent
- Terminal hydroxyl functionality
- Suitable for surface modification and coating applications
- Hydrophilic and biocompatible PEG spacer
- Reactive toward hydroxylated inorganic surfaces
Applications
- Surface functionalization of silica and glass
- Nanoparticle and biosensor modification
- Antifouling and hydrophilic coatings
- Biomaterial and hydrogel engineering
- Surface PEGylation applications
- Biomedical device surface modification
Functional Overview
The silane group enables stable attachment to inorganic and hydroxylated surfaces through siloxane bond formation, while the PEG chain improves aqueous compatibility and reduces nonspecific adsorption.
Summary
Silane-PEG-OH is a versatile surface-functional PEG reagent widely used in nanoparticle engineering, surface modification, PEGylation, and biomaterial applications
