Mechanical properties of a bacterial cellulose/polyethylene glycol gel with a peripheral region crosslinked by polyethylene glycol diacrylate

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a unique type of three-dimensionally structured biopolymer gel based on the ultrafine fibers of pure cellulose produced by Acetobacter 1, 2, 3 that are several hundred ...

Mechanical properties of a polymer network of Tetra-PEG gel

In this paper, we investigated by computer simulation the mechanical behavior of the Tetra-PEG gel at a large deformation regime. We represented the Tetra-PEG gel as a network of elastic bonds. The ...

Introduction of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

PEG can be synthesized via anionic polymerization of ethylene oxide and any hydroxyl initiators. Hydroxyl group could be from water or ethylene glycol or any diols. They can also be derived from ...
