Glycidyl Methacrylate

Edit

Glycidyl Methacrylate is a methacrylate monomer carrying a pendant epoxide ring, which makes it a handle for both radical polymerisation and post-polymerisation epoxy chemistry [1]. Grafted from cellulose by RAFT-mediated polymerisation, it installs epoxy groups on the polysaccharide backbone [1]. Grafting poly(glycidyl methacrylate) onto alumina particles and crosslinking the chains raises the thermal conductivity of the resulting epoxy composite [2]. Combining atom transfer radical polymerisation with anionic ring-opening polymerisation converts the epoxide into a polyether block, giving poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-g-dimethylsiloxane [3]. Melt grafting onto polypropylene is moderated by tea polyphenols, which limit radical side reactions [4]. Statistical, gradient and block copolymers with alkyl methacrylates have been prepared by nitroxide-mediated polymerisation, fixing the epoxide content per chain [5].
