Merck, 440159-500ML, 3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate

3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA) is widely used as a monomer and as a coupling agent in polymerization reactions. It copolymerized with other monomers, such as styrene or acrylates, to produce polymer films with improved mechanical properties and adhesion to various substrates. It also improves the stability of the polymer to UV radiation. Additionally, TMSPMA is also used as a crosslinking agent in polymer gels, as it reacts with other functional groups, such as hydroxyl or carboxyl groups, to form stable covalent bonds that improve the mechanical properties of the polymer. Furthermore, TMSPMA has also been used in various fields which include, lithium-ion batteries, engineering applications dental restorative materials, and various other biomedical applications.
