Effect of poly(ethylene glycol) molecular weight on CO2/N2 separation performance of poly(amide-12-b-ethylene oxide)/poly(ethylene glycol) blend membranes

Ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol catabolism by a sewage bacterium.

Bioconsequences Section, Unilever Research Port Sunlight Laboratory, Port Sunlight, Wirral, Merseyside L62 4XN, U.K. Polyethylene glycols are an important group of polymers used in the manufacture of explosives, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the polyoxyethylene group is the hydrophilic head group of non-ionic surfactants such as the alcohol ethoxylates used in detergent formulatio...

Protective Effect of Intravenous High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Glycol on Fatty Liver Preservation

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) leads to significant tissue damage in liver surgery. Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are water soluble nontoxic polymers that have proved their effectiveness against IRI. The objective of our study was to investigate the potential protective effects of intravenous administration of a high molecular weight PEG of 35 kDa (PEG 35) in steatotic livers subjected to cold...

propylene glycol , and ethylene glycol - based antifreeze

of AF performance. that contain EG has been reponed to result in irreversible damage to renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems, and is a cause of death in household pets and other animals.2-4 It is not known why some animals ingest EGcontaining products. Although there are reports suggesting that the "sweet" taste of EG, and of products containing it, may lead to ingestion ...

Surface Adsorption of Polyethylene Glycol and Polyvinyl Alcohol with Variable Molecular Weights on Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

The effect of ethylene glycol and DMSO on fusion of isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes.

Fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (FSR) vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle were suspended in 5-10% ethylene glycol (EG) or in 5, 10, or 15% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and were pelleted onto flat aluminum foil disks. No vesicle fusion o-curs with either 5 or 10% EG treatment and 2-21/2 hours drying. After 4-5 hours drying, 5% EG-treated vesicles have established more areas of close contact and i...
