General description

1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate is a di-functional monomer commonly used in the polymer industry for producing various types of polymers. It is a viscous liquid, that is often used as a crosslinking agent in radical polymerization reactions. Additionally, it also finds use in various fields such as coatings, adhesives, 3D printing, medical devices, and textiles due to its excellent polymerization properties and versatility.

Application

1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate can be used as:
  • A monomer for the synthesis of poly(1,6-hexanediol diacrylate) (PHDA)-based polymer microspheres and bifunctional microcapsules. The resulting PHDA-based polymer embedded with TiO2 nanoparticles finds uses in various potential applications in fields such as sensing, drug delivery, and photonics.
  • A sensitizer in the UV-curable inks commonly used in the printing industry.
  • A cross-linking agent in conjunction with a photocatalytic system to modify cellulose material. The resulting crosslinked cellulose material finds uses in various potential applications such as paper manufacturing, textiles, and biomedical devices.
  • A monomer in the synthesis of polyurethane acrylate (PUA) which is used to produce polymer electrolytes for use in lithium batteries.
1,6-Hexanedioldiacrylate can be used as a starting material to synthesize:
  • A resin (copolymer of 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate and styrene) by suspension polymerization, which is applicable in the preparation of hydrophobic peptide sequences.
  • Monodispersed poly(HDDA)/TiO2 microspheres, applicable in the degradation of methylene blue.
