Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ethylene glycol dimethylacrylate is a diester formed by condensation of two equivalents of methacrylic acid and one equivalent of ethylene glycol. It has the structural formula: CH2=C(CH3)-CO-O-CH2-CH2-O-CO-C(CH3)=CH2. It can be used in free radical copolymer crosslinking reactions. When used with methyl methacrylate, it leads to gel point at relatively low concentrations because of the nearly equivalent reactivities of all the double bonds involved.
