2 hydroxypropyl methacrylate hpma

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United Kingdom, Japan

2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) is a monomer commonly used in the production of various polymers and copolymers. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a characteristic odor. HPMA is known for its ability to impart desirable properties, such as hydrophilicity, to the final polymer materials.

All reagents were used as received unless otherwise stated. 2-(Diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DPA), deuterium chloride (DCl; 20% w/w in D2O) and 4,4′-azobis-4-cyanopentanoic acid (ACVA) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (UK). DPA inhibitor was removed by passing this monomer through an inhibitor removal column. Ethanol, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethyl formamide (DMF) were purchased from Fisher Scientific (UK). 2-Cyano-2-propyl dithiobenzoate (CPDB) was purchased from Strem Chemicals (Cambridge, UK). Glycerol monomethacrylate (GMA) was kindly donated by GEO Specialty Chemicals (Hythe, UK) and used without further purification. 2-Hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) was purchased from Alfa Aesar (UK) and contained 0.07% dimethacrylate impurity, as judged by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Deuterated methanol (CD3OD) was purchased from Goss Scientific (UK). Deionised water was obtained using an Elga Elgastat Option 3A water purifier; its pH was approximately 6.2 and its surface tension was around 72.0 mN m–1 at 20 °C.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
