Crosslinking Acrylic Monomers & Polymers - Difunctional
Difunctional monomers are useful for imparting crosslinking or branching sites to polymer architectures. The “spacer” group between the acrylic end groups often helps determine the physical and mechanical attributes of the resulting crosslinked polymer structure. Acrylic moieties are generally more reactive than methacrylic moieties and are thus used when faster reaction kinetics are desired (e.g. UV curable systems.)
