General description

2-Hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone is a radical photoinitiator (PI) molecule that can be used in the crosslinking of polymers by the exposure of UV radiation. It can be used in the development of UV curable resins for exterior coating applications.[1][2][3]

Application

  • Photochemical Thiol-Ene “Click” Chemistry: The study utilized 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone for the synthesis of highly functional polyols by photochemical thiol-ene “click” chemistry (M Ionescu, A Garcia-Comer, T Spidel, 2023).
  • Development of Water-Soluble Type I Photoinitiators: This study focused on the development of new water-soluble type I photoinitiators for hydrogel synthesis using 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone, enhancing the understanding of photopolymerization processes (B Aubry, F Dumur, M Lansalot, E Bourgeat-Lami, 2022).

Structures and particles that slowly release solute into solution can attract or repel other particles in suspension via diffusiophoresis, a process we termed "soluto-inertial (SI) interactions." These SI interactions involve "beacons" that establish and sustain nonequilibrium solute fluxes over long

Nanodroplets on a solid surface (i.e., surface nanodroplets) have practical implications for high-throughput chemical and biological analysis, lubrications, laboratory-on-chip devices, and near-field imaging techniques. Oil nanodroplets can be produced on a solid-liquid interface in a simple step of solvent exchange

The detection of p-nitrophenol (PNP) is of great significance for assessment of environment pollution and potential health risks. In this study, based on inverse opal polymeric photonic crystals (IOPPCs), a selective and visual sensor for high-performance PNP detection is developed.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
