Chloromethylstyrene, 60% meta, 40% para isomers, ≥ 96%

Chloromethylstyrene is a functional styrene monomer consisting of 60% meta and 40% para isomers, with a high purity of ≥ 96%. It features a reactive chloromethyl (-CH₂Cl) group, enabling further chemical modification via nucleophilic substitution or polymerization. This monomer readily undergoes free radical polymerization, making it a key precursor in functional polymer synthesis.

Applications:
Functional Polymers: Used as a reactive monomer in copolymer synthesis, allowing post-polymerization modifications such as quaternization or grafting.
Ion-Exchange Resins: Serves as a precursor for anion-exchange resins through quaternization with amines, enhancing ion transport properties.
Biomedical Coatings: Utilized in polymer coatings for biomaterials, where functionalization enables tailored biointeractions.
Electronics & Sensors: Used in conductive polymer applications, providing a tunable backbone for sensor and membrane development.
