General description

mono-2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl succinate(MMES) belongs to methacrylate class of monomers. It is widely used as a monomer to produce polymer coatings with enhanced adhesion, durability, and resistance to chemicals. It can be incorporated into adhesive formulations as it forms strong bonds between various substrates such as metals, plastics, and composites. MMES is compatible with photopolymerization processes and can be used to fabricate UV-curable coatings, inks, and dental restorative materials. It is also used to prepare photocatalysts for wastewater treatment.

Application

mono-2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl succinate can be used as:
  • A monomer to prepare peptide-polymer matrix to fabricate multifunctional adhesive hybrid resin composites for dental restorations. MMES has one carboxylic acid functional group for peptide conjugation and a double bond for copolymerization with the polymer matrix.
  • A precursor to synthesize CsPbBr3-based elastomers for flexible optoelectronic devices. The incorporation of MMES helps to improve elasticity, shape recovery, and flexibility.
  • A monomer to synthesize poly(MMES-co-GDMA) monosized microbeads to prepare a multifunctional gold nanocatalyst for the removal of organic pollutant 4-Nitrophenol. MMES contributes to the polymer matrix formation, attachment of gold nanoparticles, and enables the catalyst to exhibit magnetic properties.
