Glycidyl Methacrylate and Its Applications

Glycidyl Methacrylate and Its Applications

Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) is a monomer with both acrylate double bonds and epoxy groups. The acrylate double bonds have high reactivity and can undergo self-polymerization and copolymerization with many other monomers; while the epoxy group can react with hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl or anhydride to introduce more functional groups, thereby bringing more functionality to the product. Therefore, GMA has extremely wide applications in organic synthesis, polymer synthesis, polymer modification, composite materials, UV-curing materials, coatings, adhesives, leather, chemical fiber papermaking, printing and dyeing, etc.
