Application

Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) serves as a versatile and innovative polymer due to its unique properties and applications. This amorphous, water-soluble polymer is known for its excellent temperature stability and biocompatibility. Research led by Jordan and team has demonstrated that it does not accumulate in tissues and is rapidly cleared from the bloodstream, making it a suitable candidate for medical applications. It is increasingly gaining attention as a potential substitute for poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) due to its end-group modification capability, which allows for effective conjugation with peptides and serves as a viable alternative to poly(ethylene glycol) for the conjugation of proteins and small drugs. Additionally, Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) is utilized as an adhesion promoter in coatings and is highly effective as a heat sealing agent and remoistenable hot-melt adhesive. Its compatibility with solvents such as acetone, DMF, ethanol, MEK, methanol, methylene chloride, THF, and water further enhances its utility across various industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
