Collection: Double Network Gel (DN Gel) Synthesis Reagents

Double Network Gel (DN Gel) Synthesis Reagents — includes acrylate monomers and vinyl derivatives such as acrylic acid, methyl acrylate, vinyl acetate, and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, which serve as building blocks for forming double network polymer gels in hydrogel materials research.

These monomers are used by materials researchers in the synthesis of double network hydrogels (DN gels), which combine two polymer networks with different mechanical properties to produce soft materials that are both strong and elastic. Acrylic acid and sulfonate derivatives such as sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate are often used as ionic monomers forming the first network, while other acrylate derivatives are used in the second network in biomaterials and biocompatible materials research.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0145 96-33-3 Methyl Acrylate (stabilized with MEHQ), TCI D1091 2680-03-7 N,N-Dimethylacrylamide (stabilized with MEHQ), TCI A0141 79-10-7 Acrylic Acid (stabilized with MEHQ), TCI E0102 97-90-5 Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (stabilized with HQ), TCI A0045 108-05-4 Vinyl Acetate Monomer (stabilized with HQ), TCI K0005 328-50-7 2-Oxoglutaric Acid, TCI A0926 15214-89-8 2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic Acid, TCI M0085 868-77-9 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate (stabilized with MEHQ).

Pay attention to monomer stability, which is generally maintained with polymerization inhibitors such as MEHQ or HQ, as well as the level of purity and water content, which affect the rate and yield of gel network polymerization. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
