1. Description
9,9-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-acryloyloxypropoxy)phenyl]fluorene is a multi-functional monomer based on a rigid fluorene core functionalized with both hydroxyl and acrylate groups. It is primarily used in the formulation of high-performance photocurable resins, potentially finding applications in biocompatible materials, dental composites, or advanced medical device coatings. Key benefits include its potential to impart high refractive index, good thermal stability (from fluorene), photoreactivity (from acrylates), and sites for further chemical modification (hydroxyl groups). Supplied at high purity for reliable polymerization and material performance.
