Methacrylic acid (MAA) modified oligonucleotides allow the delivery of active biomacromolecules to the cytoplasm.

MAA can form strong, stable bonds with other monomers and surfaces. MAA oligos, with their unique properties, are versatile in a myriad of applications. Their adaptability and broad range of uses make them invaluable in various fields. Here are a few specific purposes and uses:

  • Drug Delivery: MAA oligos play a significant role in biomedical applications, particularly in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and biosensors. Their biocompatibility and ability to form hydrogels enable them to encapsulate drugs and release them over time in a controlled manner.
  • Adhesion Promoters: The carboxylic acid groups in MAA oligos improve adhesion by interacting with other materials, making them ideal candidates for primers or adhesion promoters in coatings, adhesives, and paints.
  • Polymer Modification: MAA oligos allow modifying other polymers, enhancing properties like hardness, chemical resistance, and weatherability
  • Controlled Polymerization: MAA enables controlled polymerization to create polymers with precise properties. This control allows the design of custom materials with specific mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance feature
  • Ion Exchange and Water Treatment: Due to the ionizable nature of the carboxyl groups, MAA oligos can be used in ion exchange resins, allowing applications like water treatment and metal ion recovery.
  • Sensors: MAA oligos can be useful in sensor technology, particularly in molecular imprinting methodologies, allowing the creation of cavities in polymers that selectively bind to target molecules.
In summary, MAA oligos provide versatility in material science and bioengineering, making them valuable in applications requiring durability, selective binding, and controlled release properties. Contact Bio-Synthesis for MAA Oligonucleotide Modification.
