Properties
Description
Phenyl-dextran is a white coarse powder, with moderate water solubility, derived from the reaction of specific controlled dextran fractions with a suitable epoxide, resulting in a phenyl content range of 0.34 to 0.4. Phenyl-dextran is a high-quality product with a molecular weight of approx. 40,000.
Molecular Weight
Approx. 40,000
Solubility
Phenyl-dextran dissolves readily in water. The product is water soluble at low concentrations but requires prolonged stirring. At higher concentrations the phenyl dextran will aggregate giving the solution an opaque appearance.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR/HPLC/MS.
Applications
Phenyl-dextran with a molecular weight of approx. 40,000 can be used for the study of how to enhance the hydrophilic nature of plastic and other related surfaces.
