Pentafluorophenyl acrylate, ≥ 95%

Pentafluorophenyl acrylate (PFPA) is a reactive, low refractive index, acrylate monomer with a highly electron-deficient pentafluorophenyl ester group. This functional group enables efficient nucleophilic substitution reactions, making PFPA a valuable precursor for biomolecule conjugation, surface modification, and functional polymer synthesis. The acrylate functionality allows it to polymerize via free-radical mechanisms, making it suitable for designing reactive polymer networks and bioactive materials.

Applications:
Bioconjugation & Surface Modification: Used to introduce reactive ester functionality for protein and peptide conjugation.
Smart Polymers: Enables functionalized materials with tunable properties in biomedical applications.
High-Performance Coatings: Enhances chemical resistance and adhesion in specialized coatings.
