General description

Bisphenol A dimethacrylate (BPA-DMA) is a key monomer, available in solid form with an assay of >98%, widely used in material science, particularly in the formulation of polymers and composite materials. BPA-DMA is primarily utilized as a crosslinking agent in the production of various thermosetting polymers. In dental applications, BPA-DMA is often incorporated into composites and adhesives due to its excellent bonding properties and ability to form durable, wear-resistant materials.

Application

Bisphenol A dimethacrylate (BPA-DMA) can be used as:
  • A template in the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The use of BPA-DMA allows for the formation of specific cavities in the polymer matrix that match the shape and functional groups of BPA, enhancing the selectivity and affinity of the resulting polymer for its target analyte.
  • A co-monomer in the synthesis of photopolymerized monoliths for capillary electrochromatography.
  • A key component in the production of bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA), which is widely used in dental restorative materials due to its mechanical properties and potential for additional functionalities like antibacterial activity.
