May 2024 | SP-3-00-003 or TriMethylPropanol (TMP) tricyclobarbonate is a crosslinking agent with three cyclocarbonates functions. The cyclocarbonate group is very polar and can react with various nucleophiles. It could replace the isocyanate function and react with amines groups and give hydroxy urethanes...
April 2024 | SP-43-0-016 is a methacrylate-based monomer of the cinnamyl alcohol which is an UV-absorbable group. The alkene function could be activated to form C-C bond. The formation of C-C bond could be provided by metal-catalyzed activation or organo-catalyzed Claisen rearrangement....
March 2024 | SP-8P-2-006 is a cyclotetrasiloxane (also called D4-tetra(ethyl(triethoxysilane)) functionalized with 4 triethoxysilane groups. This cyclic siloxane-based building block is of high interest in the design and conception of sol-gel materials with specific morphologies....
February 2024 | SP-51-003 is a building-block containing two reactive functions: a styrene group and a phosphonic acid group. This monomer is mainly used in conventional free radical polymerization as well as transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)...
December 2023 | SP-43-0-011 is a methacrylate monomer functionalized by the 4-methylcoumarine, a fluorescent aromatic ring used in the design of smart materials. This methacrylic monomer also called 7-methacryloxy-4-methylcoumarin (MAOMC) or 7-methacryloyloxy-4-Me ...
November 2023 | SP-3-00-006 is a diphenyl ether synthesized from vanillin, a sustainable precursor that can be extracted from lignin. Heat-resistant and less toxic resins can be synthesized by polymerization of phenolic resins with SP-3-00-006....
October 2023 | SP-59-005 is a building block containing two reactive functions: a styrene group and an imidazole ring. Also known as VBIm (4-Vinylbenzylimidazole), this monomer is used in conventional radical or anionic polymerization but also in controlled polymerization to access to random or...
July 2023 | SP-1P-1-006 is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) bearing two different end groups: i) a phosphonic acid group known for its adhesion properties, and ii) a hydroxyl group. This heterobifunctional polymer is highly soluble in water and biocompatible. Thanks to the phosphonic acid...
June 2023 | Our product of the month is the homopolymer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (SP-4P-3-004) also called poly(HEMA) or pHEMA. This methacrylic polymer bears pending hydroxyl groups conferring hydrophilic properties to the polymer that can be used to form [...
May 2023 | Epoxymethyl di(m)ethyl phosphonate (SP-3-15-003 & SP-3-15-006) are small reactive building-blocks that could be involved in both organic and polymerization reactions. Indeed, the epoxy group can be used in ring opening reactions with several nucleophilic [...
