- Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate
Ethylene glycol dimethylacrylate is a diester formed by
condensation of two equivalents ofmethacrylic acid and one equivalent ofethylene glycol . It has the structural formula:CH2=C(CH3)-CO-O-CH2-CH2-O-CO-C(CH3)=CH2.It can be used infree radical copolymer crosslinking reactions. When used withmethyl methacrylate , it leads togel point at relatively lowconcentration s because of the nearly equivalent reactivities of all thedouble bonds involved.External links
