| Description | Methacrylic anhydride is a polymerizable 1,6-diolefin compound that can be radical-initiated to form soluble cyclohexane polymers.Methacrylic anhydride can spontaneously polymerize via vinyl groups, which is inhibited by 2-6-di-tert-butyl 4-methylphenol.Methacrylic anhydride can be used to study novel hydrogels. Methacrylic anhydride can be used to investigate new types of hydrogels. |
