Methacrylatebased
Methacrylate-based refers to a class of chemical compounds and materials derived from methacrylic acid or its esters. Methacrylic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH2=C(CH3)COOH. Its esters, commonly known as acrylates, are widely used in the production of polymers and resins.
These methacrylate-based compounds are characterized by the presence of a vinyl group attached to a carbonyl
Common examples of methacrylate-based monomers include methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, and butyl methacrylate. The corresponding polymers,
Beyond PMMA, methacrylate-based polymers are also utilized in adhesives, coatings, inks, and dental materials due to
