Measuring Osmotic Pressure of Poly(ethylene glycol) Solutions by Sedimentation Equilibrium Ultracentrifugation
Abstract
The osmotic pressure of aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) solutions (400 and 8000 g/mol) was measured by sedimentation equilibrium (SE) ultracentrifugation over a concentration range of 0−50 wt % and over a temperature range of 10−40 °C. We have developed a procedure to cover a large polymer concentration range by performing a series of ultracentrifugation experiments at different loading concentrations. The SE data agreed well with previous measurements made using a vapor pressure osmometer. To facilitate conversion from concentration to osmotic pressure, the data were fitted to multivariable polynomial expressions as a function of the PEG-to-water ratio G and temperature T . The osmotic pressure of PEG solutions decreases with increasing temperature. We attribute this behavior to the release of structured water associated with the PEG chains which compared to bulk water has a lower entropy.

In the citing paper
“Notably, a colloidal pressure between 1–2 kPa and 20 kPa has been suggested for the cytoplasm (reviewed in Mitchison, 2019), which would correspond to the osmotic pressure exerted by ≤ 2.5% PEG8000 (Stanley & Strey, 2003).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
