Glycidylmetakrylat (GMA) er en monomer som har både akrylatdobbeltbindinger og epoksygrupper. Akryldobbeltbinding har høy reaktivitet, kan gjennomgå selvpolymeriseringsreaksjon, og kan også kopolymeriseres med mange andre monomerer; epoxy group can react with hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl or acid anhydride, introducing more functional groups, thereby bringing more functionality to the product. Therefore, GMA has an extremely wide range of applications in organic synthesis, polymer synthesis, polymer modification, composite materials, ultraviolet curing materials, coatings, adhesives, leather, chemical fiber papermaking, printing and dyeing, and many other fields.
