General description

1,4-Butanediol diacrylate(BDDA) is an acrylate monomer and a multifunctional crosslinking agent. It ​has a relatively low viscosity and undergoes photopolymerization, initiated by UV radiation. BDDA contributes to the flexibility and elasticity of the cured materials. It is used in optical films,3D printing, tissue engineering, dental composites, UV-curable adhesives, and sealants.

Application

1,4-Butanediol diacrylate can be used:



  • As a precursor to synthesize joint-linker hydrogels with good mechanical strength and used as scaffold materials in bone tissue engineering as biomimetics for natural tissues and also in drug delivery systems.
  • To prepare anti-fouling coating for dental composites.
  • As a crosslinking agent to prepare hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens(IOL) materials with reduced glistening.
  • As a precursor to fabricate poly(β-amino ester) based solid polymer electrolytefilms for Li-ion batteries. BDDA enhances the ionic conductivity of theelectrolyte films.
