Description

11-[4-(4-Butylphenylazo)Phenoxy]Undecyl Methacrylate is a specialized methacrylate monomer featuring an integrated azo dye moiety. This unique bifunctional structure is engineered to combine the polymerizable properties of methacrylates with the chromophoric characteristics of azo compounds, enabling the synthesis of advanced functional polymers. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and material scientists in the polymer, specialty coatings, and advanced materials industries to create polymers with inherent color, light-responsive behavior, or specific optical properties.

Application

• Functional Polymer Synthesis: As a key monomer for creating side-chain azo polymers with applications in nonlinear optics (NLO) and photonics.
• Smart Materials & Coatings: For developing light-responsive or photochromic coatings, films, and adhesives that change properties upon light exposure.
• Advanced Composites: Incorporation into composite matrices to impart specific optical characteristics or to act as a photosensitive component.
• Research & Development: Serving as a crucial building block in academic and industrial R&D for novel material discovery, particularly in the field of dye-attached polymers.
• Specialty Inks & Dyes: Potential use in the formulation of high-performance, polymerizable dyes for specialized printing or imaging applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of 11-[4-(4-Butylphenylazo)Phenoxy]Undecyl Methacrylate is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure consistency and purity for research and advanced material synthesis. Our quality assurance includes comprehensive analytical testing such as HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and spectrophotometry to verify chromophore integrity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and relevant physical data is provided with each shipment to support your critical R&D and production processes.

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 and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
