Description

p-Formylphenyl Methacrylate is a high-purity, bifunctional monomer featuring both a polymerizable methacrylate group and a reactive aldehyde group. This unique structure makes it a critical building block for synthesizing advanced functional polymers with tailored surface properties. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the specialty polymer, advanced material science, and life sciences sectors who require precise chemical functionality for applications like surface modification, bio-conjugation, and the creation of smart materials.

Application

• Functional Polymer Synthesis: Key monomer for creating polymers with pendant aldehyde groups for subsequent chemical modification.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Used to introduce reactive aldehyde functionalities onto polymer surfaces for improved adhesion, biocompatibility, or to create anchor points for biomolecules.
• Bioconjugation & Immobilization: The aldehyde group allows for covalent attachment of proteins, enzymes, or other biomolecules to polymer supports for diagnostic assays, biosensors, and affinity chromatography media.
• Crosslinking Agent: Serves as a crosslinker in polymer networks where the aldehyde reacts with amines or hydrazides, enhancing mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
• Photoresist and Photopolymer Formulations: Incorporated into advanced photoresists and holographic materials due to its photoreactive potential and ability to alter polymer properties post-exposure.
• Molecular Imprinting: A valuable functional monomer for creating molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with specific recognition sites for target analytes.

Quality Control

Our p-Formylphenyl Methacrylate is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, appearance, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and reactive functional groups, prolonged exposure to light, heat, or moisture should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
