The Uses of TEMPO Methacrylate

TEMPO methacrylate (4-Methacryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) may be employed as counter radical for polymerization of styrene.

The Uses of TEMPO Methacrylate

2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4-[(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)oxy]-1-piperidinyloxy is used in the synthesis of Poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy-4-yl methacrylate). Poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy-4-yl methacrylate) has application in batteries and solar cells.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-methacryloyloxy-TEMPO is a member of the class of piperidines that is TEMPO carrying a methacryloyloxy group at position 4. It has a role as a polymerisation monomer. It is a member of aminoxyls, a member of piperidines and an enoate ester. It is functionally related to a TEMPO.

General Description

TEMPO methacrylate (4-Methacryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) undergoes anionic dispersion polymerization to afford nanometer-sized polymer particles bearing 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) radicals.
