General description

Trimethylolpropanetriacrylate (TMPTA) is a tri-functional monomer that is used in the productionof various types of polymers with a wide range of applications. The most commonuse of trimethylolpropane triacrylate is in the production of UV-curedcoatings, inks, and adhesives, resins, photosensitive materials, andsuperabsorbent materials. Additionally, TMPTA-based polymers are utilized in theproduction of thermosetting resins, which are used in the production ofcomposites, laminates, and coatings. TMPTA can also be copolymerized with othermonomers to tailor the properties of the resulting polymers to meet specificrequirements.

Application

Trimethylolpropane triacrylate can be used as a starting material in the preparation of:
  • Poly(trimethylolpropane triacrylate/Al(PTMPTA/Al) nanocomposites by in situ solution polymerization.
  • Cross-linkable acrylamide/crotonic acid water retainer hydrogels.
  • Polymer electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells.

Densely crosslinked semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were synthesized by photopolymerizing a melt of PEG of various molecular weights and end-group functionalities in neat trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA). Increasing the molecular weight of PEG in the matrix from

The purpose of this study was to prepare a light-cured adhesive applicable for orthodontics by mixing monomers and a polymerized reactive organic composite filler (prepolymerized trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate-filler, TMPT-filler). The monomer component was a mixture of 3.0 wt% 2-hydroxy-3-(2-naphthoxy)propyl methacrylate (HNPM)
