Glycidyl methacrylate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Glycidyl methacrylate is a bifunctional monomer containing both a polymerizable methacrylate double bond and a reactive epoxy group. Glycidyl methacrylate can be introduced into polymer backbones via free radical polymerization, and its epoxy group undergoes ring-opening reactions with nucleophilic groups such as amines, carboxylic acids and thiols, thus being used for the preparation of functional polymers, surface-grafted materials and crosslinkable biomaterials. Glycidyl methacrylate is applicable to research related to polymer chemistry, biomaterials, surface modification and drug delivery materials.

Biological Activity
Glycidyl methacrylate (30-70 mol%; 24 h polymerization at 70 °C; 24 h drying at 40 °C) forms amorphous, free radical copolymerized P(BA-co-GMAy) copolymers with n-butyl acrylate, with weight-average molar masses ranging from 28,000 to 55,000 g/mol, polydispersity indices of 2.0-2.4, and glass transition temperatures from -4 °C to 29 °C depending on GMA content[1].
Glycidyl methacrylate (40-70 mol%; 24 h polymerization at 80 °C) forms semicrystalline, free radical copolymerized P(PEGMA-co-GMAy) copolymers with poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate, with weight-average molar masses ranging from 105,000 to 470,000 g/mol, polydispersity indices of 1.7-3.1, glass transition temperatures from -55 °C to -43 °C, and melting temperatures from 25 °C to 37 °C depending on GMA content[1].
Glycidyl methacrylate (1-2 wt%; 3 h) coated on silicone contact lenses potently kills MRSA with a log reduction of 6.3 and maintains 90% NIH-3T3 fibroblast viability; coatings with 2 wt% Glycidyl methacrylate also exhibit significant antibacterial activity against MRSA and S. aureus with high cell viability[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (35.17 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (35.17 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
