Dicarboxylic Acid Monomers

Dicarboxylic Acid Monomers — a collection of compounds with two carboxylic acid groups on a single molecular framework, ranging from straight aliphatic chains and bicyclic structures to fused aromatic rings. These dual carboxylic groups make them difunctional building blocks commonly used in the repeated formation of ester and amide bonds.

Dicarboxylic Acid Monomers are used by polymer researchers to synthesize polyesters, polyamides, and epoxy resins through polycondensation reactions with diols or diamines, and as crosslinkers in the synthesis of three-dimensional polymer networks. Aromatic derivatives such as tetracarboxylic acids also serve as dianhydride precursors for synthesizing polyimides and materials with high thermal stability.

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 B6150 74774-53-1 1,6-Bis(4-carboxyphenoxy)hexane, TCI A0161 124-04-9 Adipic Acid, TCI B6179 22803-05-0 [1,1'-Biphenyl]-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic Acid, TCI A0088 142-45-0 Acetylenedicarboxylic Acid, TCI B6503 366008-67-5 2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)terephthalic Acid.

Pay attention to purity, crystal or powder form, the spacing between carboxylic groups (short versus long chains), and the presence of additional functional groups such as aromatic rings or double bonds, which affect reactivity and the stiffness of the resulting polymer chain. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
