Photo-Cross-Linked Solketal Acrylate Gel Multilayer Thin Films: Fabrication, Characterization and Comprehensive Study Surface Plasmon Resonance/Optical Waveguide
Author(s): Momen S.A. Abdelaty*
The present study has been achieved in three stages. The first stage involves the preparation of three
acrylate monomer, the first one is 2, 2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxoylan-4-yl-methylacrylate (Solketal Acrylate)
(SKA) and was prepared in two steps. The other two monomers act as functional and hydrophobic, 4-
Acetylphenyl Acrylate (APA) and 4-formyl-2-methoxyphenylacrylate (VA) which prepared from vanillin;
both prepared in a one-step reaction. All monomers were evaluated by 1H, 13C NMR and FTIR. In the
next stage, two kinds of polymers have been fabricated. Free radical copolymerization of SKA with a
different molar concentration of photo-cross-linker producing poly (SKA-co-DMIAAm), while the
copolymerization between N-isopropylacrylamide with a different molar concentration of VA and APA
for producing the thermo-responsive functional polymer. All polymers have been .. View More»
