Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA)
Glycidyl Methacrylate (GMA) is a versatile monomer widely used in the synthesis of polymers and copolymers due to its reactive epoxy and methacrylate functional groups. As a component in adhesive formulations, GMA enhances bonding strength and durability, particularly in structural and high-performance adhesives. It is also used to modify plastics, improving their mechanical properties, adhesion, and compatibility with other materials. GMA-modified polymers are used in various industries, including automotive and electronics.
