General description

1,4-Butanediol divinyl ether is widely used as across-linking agent to synthesize polymeric membranes, copolymer networks, and microspheres. For example, it can be used as a precursor to synthesize electrolyte membranes for fuel cell applications and thermally expandable microspheres.

Application

  • Comparative physicochemical analysis among 1, 4-butanediol diglycidyl ether cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal fillers: This study explores the properties of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers cross-linked with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, focusing on their physicochemical characteristics and performance in cosmetic applications (Zerbinati et al., 2021).
  • In-depth characterization of 1, 4-butanediol diglycidyl ether substituted hyaluronic acid hydrogels: An investigation into the properties of hyaluronic acid hydrogels modified with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, providing insights into their structural and functional enhancements (Zhang et al., 2023).
  • Highly Branched Poly(5-amino-1-pentanol-co-1,4-butanediol diacrylate) for High Performance Gene Transfection: Discusses the synthesis and application of a novel branched polymer for gene delivery, highlighting the role of 1,4-butanediol diacrylate in enhancing transfection efficiency (Zeng et al., 2017).
  • Tuning thermal, morphological, and physicochemical properties of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs): This study examines the effects of substituting 1,4-butanediol in the synthesis of TPUs, aiming to improve their mechanical properties and performance (Ernzen et al., 2022).
  • Cyclodehydration of 1, 4-butanediol over Zr-Al Catalysts: Focuses on the catalytic transformation of 1,4-butanediol to tetrahydrofuran, a critical industrial solvent and intermediate, using zirconium-aluminum catalysts (Li & Chen, 2019).
