Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an ingredient for approved drug products by the Food & Drug Administration. PEG is mostly used as a pharmaceutical adjuvant, ophthalmic and oral acts as an encapsulating agent, plasticizing agent in food packages, modified and/or functionalized materials, among other applications. It is important to know the molecular mass of PEG because it will bring the product configuration for these applications. The use of instrumental techniques is often infeasible due to high investment and operational costs. The viscosimetry by capillary, in the case of a classical technique, simple and inexpensive, allows significant results for the determination of the molecular mass of polymers from the intrinsic viscosity. The objective of the present study was to determine the parameters of the Mark-Houwink equation for PEG using molecular mass and intrinsic viscosity in water at different temperatures. The parameters resulting in “K” between 0.046828 x 10-3 and 0.298291 x 10-3 cm3.g-1 and “α” between 0.40 and 0.70. The viscosimeter by the capillary allowed to obtain significant results for the estimation of the parameters "K" and "α", with a correlation coefficient greater than 98%.

The extraction of polyethylene glycol of average molecular mass 400 (PEG 400) with dicarbolide solution in nitrobenzene and of longer-chain polyethylene glycol, of average molecular mass 1 500 (PEG 1 500), with chlorinated dicarbolide solution in nitrobenzene was studied. During the extraction of PEG 400, the polyethylene glycol solvates the Horg+ ion in the organic phase giving rise to the HLorg+ species (L is polyethylene glycol). The obtained value of the extraction constant Kex(HLorg+) = 933 is consistent with published data of metal extraction. Extraction of PEG 1 500 was treated applying the simplified assumption that the thermodynamic behaviour of PEG 1 500 is the same as that of n molecules of polyethylene glycol with relative molecular mass 1 500/n, each solvating one cation. For this model, the value of n = 3.2 ± 1.1 and the values of the extraction constants of the HL1/n,org+ and HL2/n,org+ species were obtained by using the adapted program LETAGROP. This value of n is consistent with published extraction data in the presence of polyethylene glycol with a relative molecular mass from 200 to 1 000.

the corrosion inhibition of polyethylene glycol 200 for magnesium alloy AZ91 in 1% NaCl solution at different temperatures are studied. The morphology of the sample at 25°C is analyzed by SEM. And CHI600C electrochemistry workstation is employed to investigate the corrosion inhibition of the samples. The results show that the corrosion inhibition efficiency of polyethylene glycol 200 to the magnesium alloy AZ91 is affected by temperature. Polyethylene glycol 200 has superior corrosion inhibition to the magnesium alloy at the temperature of 25°C.

This investigation involves the effects of non-ionic surfactant materials on the industrial sodium oleate, sodium naphthenate and their mixtures at different temperatures by the surface tension methods. The effects on the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of sodium oleate were assessed by the Toween 80(T-80) presence, polyethylene glycol, polyether and other non-ionic surfactant. T-80 was proved more effective than other non-surfactant in increasing the sodium oleate CMC at same concentration. Using the optimal composition of sodium fatty acid and the surfactant can reduce the temperature of separation hematite from 43°C to 23°C, achieve the purpose of low carbon and energy saving.
