Collection: Epoxide Monomers

Epoxide Monomers — includes reactive oxirane (epoxide) compounds with various aliphatic, aromatic, cyclic, fluorinated, or silicon substituents, which carry a highly strained three-membered ring as a polymerization functional group and as a reaction site for ring-opening reactions.

These epoxide monomers are used in polymer synthesis through ring-opening polymerization to form polyols, polyethers, or epoxy resins with mechanical and thermal properties tailored by the choice of substituent. Fluorinated or silicon-containing derivatives are used by materials researchers to modify surface energy and chemical resistance of thin films, while bifunctional epoxides act as crosslinkers in industrial adhesives and coatings.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0221 106-92-3 Allyl Glycidyl Ether, TCI B5601 7144-65-2 2-[([1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-yloxy)methyl]oxirane, TCI V0195 106-87-6 3-(Oxiran-2-yl)-7-oxabicyclo[410]heptane (mixture of isomers), TCI B5815 3130-19-6 Bis(7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-3-ylmethyl) Adipate, TCI T3429 359-41-1 2-(Trifluoromethyl)oxirane, TCI B5922 18724-32-8 1,3-Bis[2-(7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-3-yl)ethyl]-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, TCI T3365 38565-52-5 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-Tridecafluoroheptyloxirane, TCI B6472 2212-06-8 2-[(4-Bromophenoxy)methyl]oxirane.

Select based on the type and position of substituents on the oxirane ring, isomer mixture or single stereochemistry, and the compound's stability against moisture, which can trigger uncontrolled ring opening before polymerization. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
