Tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate (THFMA) is derived from renewable resources and is obtained by chemical modification of furfural produced from hemicellulose. THFMA was used as a biobased reactive diluent that reduces the viscosity of AESO in DLP 3D printing. According to stress relaxation tests, THFMA was found to be a suitable monomer in the UV-curing of HPPA and AESO because the formed dynamic networks could rapidly undergo thermoactivated network topology rearrangements. The addition of THFMA to the resins contributed to weldability, repairability, shape memory, and reprocessability properties[2].

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid

Uses

Tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate is used as methacrylic component in dental materials, such as crown and bridge products; in artificial nails.

Definition

ChEBI: Tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate is a member of oxolanes.

Application

Tetrahydrofurfuryl Methacrylate (THFMA) is a clear water white to light yellow liquid. It has a 2.84 cps viscosity at 20°C. Poly(tetrahydro furfuryl methacrylate) [P(THFMA)] has been investigated as a biomaterial for encouraging articular cartilage repair because it possesses some unique characteristics with respect to its biocompatibility and behavior in water. Furthermore, its monomer was used as a tissue repair material[1].
