General description

2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) is a methacrylic acid derivative that is used as a monomer in the production of polymers with a wide range of applications. The most common use of DMAEMA is in the production of cationic polymers, which are highly charged and have applications such as flocculants, coagulants, dispersants, and stabilizers. In addition, DMAEMA-based polymers have found uses in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and gene therapy, owing to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. DMAEMA can also be used as a modifying agent in coatings, adhesives, and textiles to improve properties such as adhesion, hardness, and water resistance.

Application

2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) can be used as starting material in the synthesis of poly (DMAEMA) and amphiphilic block copolymers. Poly (DMAEMA) is a thermal and pH-sensitive biocompatible polymer widely used in the following applications.

  • Quaternized poly (DMAEMA) can be used to prepare highly efficient antibacterial magnetic particles. The high density of quaternary ammonium groups generated via surface-initiated ATRP are responsible for high antibacterial activity.
  • Ag nanoparticles immobilized into a poly (DMAEMA) brush layer can be used as a sensor platform for the detection of organic molecules by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
  • It can also be used to prepare stable polymer-based gene delivery systems.

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
