Methacrylic anhydride

Methacrylic anhydride is a polymerizable diolefin used in radical polymerization to form soluble cyclohexane-based polymers, and it is stabilized against premature polymerization by inhibitors like BHT. This compound serves as a key cross-linking agent in biomedical research for developing novel hydrogels, applicable in both in vitro and in vivo studies for tissue engineering and drug delivery platforms.
