Glycerol 1,3-Dimethacrylate as a Key Monomer for Tailoring Macroporous Polymer Monoliths

Macroporous polymer materials synthesized by GDMA and Trim and their pore size distribution.

Hasegawa, George, et al. Polymer 52.21 (2011): 4644-4647.

This study highlights Glycerol 1,3-Dimethacrylate (GDMA) as a difunctional crosslinking monomer that enables the fabrication of such tailored macroporous materials via living radical polymerization. In this application, GDMA was polymerized via organotellurium-mediated living radical polymerization in the presence of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a porogen. The PEO induced spinodal decomposition during polymerization, creating a bicontinuous structure that was fixed at the sol-gel transition. GDMA's specific molecular architecture and functionality were critical in determining the final pore morphology of the monolith after drying.
Key Performance:
· Controlled Pore Formation: The polymerization of GDMA, facilitated by the living radical mediator, allowed the macroporous structure to be tailored by fixing the bicontinuous phase. The macropore size could be controlled simply by varying the amount of PEO.
· Unimodal Macropore Structure: Monoliths derived from GDMA exhibited a distinctive unimodal distribution of macropores. This resulted from the collapse of smaller micro- and mesopores embedded within the pore skeletons during evaporative drying, due to significant shrinkage.
· Process-Dependent Properties: When dried using supercritical CO2 (aerogel), the structure preserved more porosity. In contrast, evaporative drying (xerogel) led to the characteristic pore collapse. The gelation time for the GDMA system was approximately 30 minutes under the studied conditions.

Glycerol 1,3-Dimethacrylate Enabling Release Layer-Free UV Nanoimprinting

Chemical composition of UV-curable resin films based on glycerol-1,3-dimethacrylate.

Ito, Shunya, et al. Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B 30.6 (2012).

This study demonstrates how Glycerol 1,3-Dimethacrylate (GDM) serves as an effective base monomer for creating such advanced resins when formulated with specific reactive additives. In this application, GDM was used as the primary dimethacrylate monomer to form a cross-linked polymer matrix upon UV curing. To achieve low surface energy, it was co-polymerized with fluorinated acrylate monomers, including CHF2-terminated 16F-AC and CF3-terminated 17F-AC. The research focused on how these additives, combined with the GDM base, could create a surface-segregating formulation that facilitates mold release.
Key Performance:
· Effective Surface Energy Reduction: Formulations combining GDM with fluorinated acrylates significantly reduced the surface free energy of the cured films. A ternary system (GDM, 16F-AC, and 17F-AC) achieved a very low surface free energy of 22.8 mJ/m2 at a fluorine content of 2.9 atomic percent.
· Surface Segregation Mechanism: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that the CF3-terminal groups of 17F-AC were abundant at the outermost surface due to co-assembly with other fluorinated molecules. Here, 16F-AC acted as a "surface segregation auxiliary agent," enhancing the enrichment of low-energy groups at the interface.
· Successful Nanoimprinting Application: The optimized ternary UV-curable resin based on GDM enabled successful step-and-repeat UV nanoimprinting using bare silica molds without a separate release layer. This was achieved in a 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (PFP) atmosphere, which aids the release process.
