Table 1.

Ratios for PEG4-acid place-exchange reactions (calculated tiopronin:PEG feed in solution (mol:mol))and resulting PEG surface coverage percentages by NMR and IM-MS. PEG feed ratio was determined from calulated molar concentrations of tiopronin on the monolayer surface as determined for original TMPCs.
