m-PEG6-2-methylacrylate(CAT: I016972) is a monofunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative consisting of a six-unit PEG spacer terminated with a 2-methylacrylate (methacrylate) group. The methacrylate functionality enables radical polymerization or Michael addition reactions, making this compound highly versatile for covalent incorporation into polymer networks and hydrogels. The PEG6 spacer imparts excellent solubility, flexibility, and reduced steric hindrance, enhancing biocompatibility and stability in both aqueous and organic systems. m-PEG6-2-methylacrylate is widely used in bioconjugation, biomaterials engineering, surface modification, and drug delivery research, particularly for preparing PEGylated polymers, crosslinkable materials, and nanostructures that require tunable hydrophilicity and controlled reactivity.
