It depends on both the molecular weight and the geometry of the particular polymer. Low molecular weight PEG's are generally water-miscible liquids, high MW ones are waxes insoluble in pretty much any common solvent.

No, it is a good hydrogen bond forming molecule, but it is not ionic or acidic, so it does not dissociate.

What is a pegylated treatment?

It is treatment in which a Poly-Ethylene Glycol polymer is attached to another molecule, such as interferon, for the treatment of hepatitis (for instance). The term, pegylated, is derived from the acronym P-E-G, from the chemical, polyethylene glycol. Pegylation can sometimes render a treatment more effective, such as is the case with pegylated interferon treatment (versus standard interferon treatment).

What are the derivatives of ethylene oxide?

Products derived from EO have many different uses. They include:Monoethylene Glycol: Production of polyethylene terephthalate (polyester fibers, films and bottles), antifreeze and coolants for engines, heat transfer liquids and aircraft and runway anti-icing and deicing fluid.Diethylene Glycol: Polyurethanes, polyesters, softeners (cork, glue, casein and paper), plasticizers, gas drying and solvents.Triethylene Glycol: Lacquers, solvents, plasticizers, gas drying and humectants (moisture-retaining agents).Poly(ethylene) Glycols: Cosmetics, ointments, pharmaceutical preparations, lubricants (finishing of textiles, ceramics), solvents (paints and drugs) and plasticizers (adhesives and printing inks).Ethylene Glycol Ethers: Brake fluids, detergents, solvents (paints and lacquers) and extractants for SO2, H2S, CO2, and mercaptans from natural gas and refinery gas.Ethanolamine: Chemicals for textile finishing, cosmetics, soaps, detergents and natural gas purification.Ethoxylation products of fatty alcohols, fatty amines, alkyl phenols, cellulose and poly(propylene glycol): Detergents and surfactants (nonionic), biodegradable detergents, emulsifiers and dispersants.
