The addition of surfactants to pesticide spray applications is an important method to improve the spray atomization and the coverage of droplets on the target. The effects of different types of surfactants on spraying have been extensively studied, but there have been few studies on the commonly used surfactant polyethylene glycol so far. This article compares the effect of polyethylene glycol 20,000 on the atomization and deposition characteristics by measuring the droplet size and the deposition on the polyethylene collection line when spraying different concentrations of polyethylene glycol 20,000 solution. The results show that the volume medium diameter DV0.5 of spraying different concentrations of polyethylene glycol 20,000 solution is larger than that of clear water, and that as the concentration increases, the volume medium diameter DV0.5 gradually increases but ΦVol < 150 μm decreases. Spraying different concentrations of polyethylene glycol 20,000 solution at a horizontal distance of 2–7 m from the nozzle and at a distance of 0.1–0.2 m from the bottom of the floor, the depositions are all less than that of clear water, and as the concentration increases, the deposition becomes smaller. This article can provide theoretical support for the use and concentration ratio of polyethylene glycol 20,000 in field application.

A set of 16 inexpensive and commercially available polymer precipitants were tested for protein crystallization. Eight of them were found suitable: polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether of molecular weight (MW) 500, 1000 and 2000; di[poly(ethylene glycol)] adipate, MW 900; poly(ethylene glycol-ran-propylene glycol), MW 2500 and 12000; poly(acrylic acid) sodium salt, MW 2100; and polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate, MW 1100. Two new crystallization screens, PolyA and PolyB, were formulated using these eight polymers, each containing 96 solutions – four polymers in combination with 24 common salts and buffers, covering pH values from 4.5 to 9.0. The screens were tested on 29 proteins, 21 of which were crystallized. The tests confirmed the applicability of the eight polymers as precipitants for protein crystallization.

In this work, ammonia cross-linked 8-armed polyethylene glycol hydrogel material was successfully synthesized and used as a template for synthesizing nanoparticles with fluorescent properties. The 8-armed polyethylene glycol hydrogel template was used to prepare molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs). The ammonium tetrathiomolybdate functioned as a molybdenum source and hydrazine hydrate functioned as a reducing agent. The fluorescence properties of the as-prepared MoS2 QDs were investigated. The bursting of fluorescence caused by adding different concentrations of explosive TNT was studied. The study indicated that the synthesized MoS2 QDs can be used for trace TNT detection with a detection limit of 6 nmol/L and a detection range of 16–700 nmol/L. Furthermore, it indicated that the fluorescence-bursting mechanism is static bursting.

Photocrosslinking of polyethylene glycol (PEG) using exogenous agents is a convenient way to produce branched PEG from commercial sources thus avoiding the tricky synthesis of new reactive and functional polymers. In this study, we synthesized two series of new photocrosslinkers, i.e. bis-fluorophenyl azide and bis-trifluoromethyl diazirine, which under soft UV-irradiation produce reactive species (i.e. nitrene and carbene respectively) that insert into the C–H bond of the polymer backbone, building new bridges between macromolecular chains. These photocrosslinkers are different in terms of behaviour under irradiation and affinity for the target substrate (i.e. PEG). Thus, practical conditions for photocrosslinking of a 10-kDa PEG were studied and followed by NMR and size-exclusion chromatography. In particular, we investigated irradiation in bulk or in solvent, at different irradiation times, with several concentrations of PEG and photolinkers. Finally, we were able to design a procedure to obtain soluble crosslinked PEGs of 300 kDa.

Wet adhesion is achieved by mussels so naturally. Their adhesion mechanism has inspired scientists to obtain wet adhesives for a long time. The amino acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) produced by mussels adheres to different types of surfaces and also contributes to cohesive interactions. Here, we showed the spontaneous adhesion of DOPA functionalized four armed poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer to spin labeled polystyrene (SL-PS) nanosurfaces by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In addition to DOPA, adhesion property of another amino acid of tryptophan (Trp) was studied. Trp attached four armed PEG polymers did not adhere to the surface of SL-PS in the force free condition. However, two armed DOPA and two armed Trp functionalized PEG adhere to the PS.

In the present study, camptothecin grafted poly amino ester-methyl ether polyethylene glycol (CPT-PEA-MPEG) as a novel copolymer was synthesized by Michael reaction at different ratios of MPEG and CPT (60 : 40 and 80 : 20).
