Description

5-Norbornene-2-Acrylic Acid is a high-value, functionalized monomer featuring both a strained norbornene ring and an acrylic acid moiety. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a critical building block for advanced polymer synthesis, enabling the creation of materials with tailored properties. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the specialty polymer, photoresist, and advanced material sectors seeking to develop novel resins, coatings, and functional additives.

Application

• Advanced Polymer Synthesis: Serves as a key monomer for ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and other polymerization techniques to create specialty polymers with controlled architectures.
• Photoresist & Semiconductor Materials: Used in the formulation of chemically amplified photoresists and other photopolymerizable compositions for microelectronics fabrication.
• Adhesive & Coating Resins: Incorporated into formulations to enhance adhesion, cross-linking density, and chemical resistance in industrial coatings and structural adhesives.
• Hydrogel & Biomedical Polymers: Acts as a cross-linker or functional comonomer for creating hydrogels and biocompatible polymers with responsive or degradable properties.
• Liquid Crystal & Optical Materials: Utilized in the synthesis of polymers for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and other optical applications requiring specific refractive indices and alignment.
• Functional Additives & Modifiers: Employed to introduce carboxylic acid functionality into polymers, improving compatibility, dyeability, or providing sites for further chemical modification.

Quality Control

Our 5-Norbornene-2-Acrylic Acid is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and titration for acid value, to ensure it meets exacting research and industrial-grade specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability. The material is moisture-sensitive and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation and polymerization. Allow the container to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
