New materials from dimethacrylates bearing phosphonic acid and thioether groups

Abstract

A new series of crosslinkable dimethacrylates containing thioether and phosphonic acid were synthesized. The structures of the different synthesized crosslinkable agents based on oleic acid, cinnamic acid, acrylated glycerol 1,3-dimethacrylate and a chalcone derivative were established by electrospray ionization, DSC, NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In order to prove the accessability of the double bonds on network formation, the radical curing of these compounds with N,N-dimethylacrylamide as comonomer was examined.
