The Uses of Tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate

Tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate is used as methacrylic component in dental materials, such as crown and bridge products; in artificial nails.

Definition

ChEBI: Tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate is a member of oxolanes.

What are the applications of Application

Tetrahydrofurfuryl Methacrylate (THFMA) is a clear water white to light yellow liquid. It has a 2.84 cps viscosity at 20°C. Poly(tetrahydro furfuryl methacrylate) [P(THFMA)] has been investigated as a biomaterial for encouraging articular cartilage repair because it possesses some unique characteristics with respect to its biocompatibility and behavior in water. Furthermore, its monomer was used as a tissue repair material[1].
