Dicarboxylic Acid Monomers [Biomaterials/Biocompatible Materials Research Reagents]

Dicarboxylic Acid Monomers [Biomaterials/Biocompatible Materials Research Reagents] — a collection of short-chain to aromatic dicarboxylic and tricarboxylic acids, such as adipic acid, azelaic acid, aconitic acid, and benzenetricarboxylic acid, which serve as monomers that form ester or amide bonds in polymers. The single and multiple carboxyl groups in their structures enable polymer chain formation through polycondensation reactions.

These monomers are used by materials and biomaterials researchers in the synthesis of biocompatible polyesters and polyamides through polycondensation with diols or diamines, producing polymers studied for tissue scaffold applications or polymer-based systems. Acids with three carboxyl groups, such as benzenetricarboxylic acid, are also used as branching points to form branched or crosslinked polymer structures.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0127 4023-65-8 trans-Aconitic Acid, TCI B5595 711-02-4 Bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-dicarboxylic Acid, TCI A0561 123-99-9 Azelaic Acid, TCI C0492 2305-26-2 cis-4-Cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic Acid, TCI A0161 124-04-9 Adipic Acid, TCI C0769 5445-51-2 1,1-Cyclobutanedicarboxylic Acid, TCI A0088 142-45-0 Acetylenedicarboxylic Acid, TCI C0788 1076-97-7 1,4-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic Acid (cis- and trans- mixture).

Pay attention to the number and position of carboxyl groups (linear, cyclic, or aromatic chains) as well as monomer purity, since both determine the degree of polymerization and the mechanical properties of the final polymer formed. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
