The Function of PEG in the Synthesis of Nanomaterials

Abstract:

PEG (polyethylene glycol) have been widely used in the synthesis of nanomaterials due to its special structure and performance. In this paper, the role PEG played in the preparation of nanomaterials, such as dispersion and stabilization, structure-directing, modification and functionalization were summarized.
