Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is polymerized into polyglycidyl methacrylate (PGMA) via free radical polymerization. The double bonds in the GMA molecule open under the action of an initiator, forming the polymer backbone, while retaining epoxy groups as side chains. The high reactivity of these epoxy groups makes them valuable for subsequent functionalization applications.

Poly(glycidyl methacrylate): a highly versatile polymeric building block for post-polymerization modifications.
The epoxy side chains of PGMA can undergo ring-opening reactions under multiple conditions to afford functionalized polymers.
PGMA particles can be copolymerized with other acrylate or methacrylate monomer to further diversify the range of structures and applications of the final materials.
The wide range of chemistry available allows one to freely choose the nature of the functional group and the manner of the ring-opening reaction. It is this versatility that establishes PGMA as a general and powerful reactive scaffold in polymer chemistry.
As a multifunctional polymer, PGMA particles have been widely used in materials science, physical chemistry and biomedicine research. Examples of common applications are below:
Microscopy
Cell measurement
Drug delivery
Carriers for biomolecules
Solubilizing agents
Antimicrobial agents
Filtration detection
Flow principle research
Poly(glycidyi methacryiate) can improve adhesion, reactivity, and dispersibility of paints, glue, synthetic resin, textile and other materials.
Due to its epoxy group, it can be used as a stabilizer (hydrogen halide scavenger for resins containing halogen elements) for polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, chlorinated polyolefins, etc.
