General description1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether(BDDE) is a homobifunctional monomer with two epoxide groups, widely used to modify the viscosity of epoxy resins. It is also used as a cross-linking agent to synthesize polymer networks.
Application1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether can be used:
- As a cross-linking agent to prepare hyaluronic acid dermal fillers This crosslinking process enhances the gel-like consistency of the filler, making it more durable and longer-lasting.
- As a monomer to prepare epoxy-based graphene nanocomposites that have potential applications in the field of flexible electronics, corrosion resistance coatings, and conductive adhesives. BDDE is chosen for its desirable properties such as low viscosity, good reactivity, and compatibility with graphene.
