Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) | Reactive Monomer
Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) is a clear, colorless liquid with a potent ester and fruity odor. It comprises a polymerizable methacrylate functional group on one end and a reactive epoxy group on the other. It is slightly miscible with water, soluble in most organic solvents, and has relatively low volatility. Its vapor is heavier than air. It copolymerizes readily with various functional groups, such as phenols, ketones, acids, and amines. The added epoxy group imparts durability, mechanical strength, optical transparency, and adhesiveness.
Glycidyl methacrylate is a polyfunctional monomer. It acts as an adhesion promoting crosslinking co-monomer for acrylic and vinyl resins. It is also a reactive colorless diluent. GMA is soluble in ethanol, acetone, diethyl ether, benzene.

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)is a common monomer used in the creation of epoxy resins. Itis used to provide epoxy
functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins.Glycidyl methacrylate is used in the production of polymer coatings and finishes, adhesives, plastics and elastomers.Glycidyl methacrylate dextran has been reported to be used as a biocompatible hydrogel. In situ polymerization of GMAwith trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate to form macroporous sorbents has also been reported. GMA may also be graftedonto polypropylene.
Glycidyl methacrylate is commonly used as a monomer for the preparation of epoxy resins. It is also used to provide
epoxy functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins. Further, it is also useful as an epoxy resin additive for
paint coating formulations and adhesive applications.
ChEBl: Glycidyl methacrylate is an enoate ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of methacryic acidwith the hydroxy group of glycidol. It is an enoate ester and an epoxide. It is functionally related to a methacrylic acid and
a glycidol.
Glycidyl methacrylate is produced from methacryic acid and glycidol. Glycidol contain both epoxide and alcohol
functional groups.It is an enoate ester and an epoxide. It derives from a methacrylic acid and a glycidol.
Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is a kind of functional monomer. Its active vinyl and epoxy groups could be grafted withpolyolefin and reacted with the polar groups such as amine, hydroxyl and carboxyl group, respectively. It can also
undergo polymerization to form poly (glycidyl methacrylate).
