Poly(glycidyl methacrylate)
Poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA), CAS 25067-05-4, with the linear formula [C7H10O3]n, is a versatile polymer characterised by its reactive epoxy groups. This feature makes it a valuable component in various cross-linking and surface modification applications. PGMA is widely employed in materials science for developing advanced coatings, adhesives, and functionalised materials. Its ability to undergo ring-opening reactions allows for further polymerisation or grafting, contributing to its utility in diverse chemical syntheses and material innovations.

Coatings and Adhesives
PGMA serves as a key component in the formulation of high-performance coatings and adhesives. Its epoxy functionality allows for cross-linking, enhancing durability, chemical resistance, and adhesion to various substrates.
Surface Modification
The reactive epoxy groups enable PGMA to be used for surface functionalisation of materials. This process can improve biocompatibility, introduce specific binding sites, or alter surface properties for advanced applications.
Polymer Synthesis and Grafting
As a monomer, PGMA can be polymerised or grafted onto other polymer chains. This allows for the creation of novel copolymers and block copolymers with tailored properties for specialised uses.
Materials Science Research
PGMA is a valuable research material for developing new polymers and composite materials. Its predictable reactivity is instrumental in exploring advanced material functionalities and performance characteristics.
