| Application: | GDMA can be used in the following applications: • Used as a diluent in the development of new dental resinous systems. It is used to form highly crosslinked polymer networks, which are essential for providing composites with high stiffness, hardness, and durability. • Used to prepare polymer matrix, along with other methacrylate monomers such as diurethanedimethacrylate (DUDMA) and urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) for the development of 3D-printable antimicrobial composite materials for various applications, including dentistry. • Used in the synthesis of highly cross-linked microbeads with thermoresponsive properties. The presence of GDMA contributes to the cross-linking of the polymeric structure. Thermoresponsive microbeads have potential applications in the biomedical field, such as drug delivery systems or tissue engineering. |
| General description: | Glycerol dimethacrylate, mixture of isomers (GDMA), belongs to the class of monomers known as dimethacrylates. It is commonly used as a cross-linking agent in the formulation of polymer materials to improve the mechanical strength, durability, and dimensional stability of the polymers. Its favorable properties make it well-suited for formulating dental composites and adhesives. It is also used in various applications which include, optical materials, photolithography, opthalmic applications, plasticizers, resins, coatings, and paints. |
