Abstract:
To understand the mechanism of 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) hydrolysis, we investigated the degradation of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl dihydrogen phosphate (MEP), because the MEP molecule has the methacryloxy and phosphate ester portions of MDP but, unlike the latter, is water-soluble. The MEP-N-methcryloyl glycine (NMGly), MDP-NMGly, and MDP-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) primers were designed, stored for different periods, and then analyzed. Our null hypotheses were that (1) the mechanism of MDP hydrolysis differs from that of MEP and (2) the type of hydrophilic monomer--NMGly or HEMA--has no effect on the MDP hydrolysis rate. Similar to the production of methacrylic acid (MA) and 2-hydroxyethyl dihydrogen phosphate (HEP) during MEP hydrolysis, MDP produced MA and 10-hydroxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (HDP) during hydrolysis. However, the rate of MDP hydrolysis depended on the type of hydrophilic monomer: Compared with HEMA, NMGly significantly increased the rate of MDP hydrolysis.

02:22Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.

01:15Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the addition of water breaks down a polymer into its simpler monomer units. For example, peptides break into amino acids, carbohydrates into simple sugars, and DNA into nucleotides. Enzymes often facilitate these processes.
Hydrolysis Reverses Dehydration Synthesis
Complex carbohydrates can be broken down by breaking the bonds between individual sugar units. The reaction breaks a glycosidic bond as water is added to the compound. The...
