The phrase "as a functional monomer" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or technical contexts, particularly in chemistry or materials science, to describe a type of monomer that has specific functional groups that contribute to the properties of a polymer.
Example: "The polymer was synthesized using styrene as a functional monomer to enhance its mechanical properties."
Alternatives: "as a reactive monomer" or "as a building block".
The MIPs were synthesized using pyrrole as a functional monomer in the presence of FLU as a template molecule.
This technique was successfully applied for the MIP synthesis via thermal polymerization method at 60 °C by using methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer.
A computational modelling study led to the selection of 2- trifluoromethyl 2- trifluoromethylacrylic functionacidonomer capable of imparTFMAAasfinity towards domoic acid.
MIP was prepared by thermal polymerisation using N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide (MBAA) as a functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross-linker.
In addition, gold nanoballs (AuNBs) with controllable size and shape were synthesized using 1,3-di 3-bromopropyl -imidazoliumm bromide ionic liquid as a functional monomer.
Molecular modelling and computational design were used to identify itaconic acid (IA) as a functional monomer with high affinity towards deoxynivalenol (DON), a Fusarium-toxin frequently occurring in cereals.
Bovine serum albumin (BSA), 2- diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, bis-acrylamide were used as a model protein, a functional monomer and a cross-linker, respectively, to prepare the BSA-MIP film.
Based on these calculations, methacyrlic acid (MAA) was selected as a suitable functional monomer.
In this paper, a new method was designed to prepare polyacrylate modified by polysiloxane latex particles, with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA) as main monomers, vinyltriethoxysilane (A-151) as functional monomer and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) as grafting agent.
Colloidal stability, particle size, particle size distribution, film properties and morphology were studied as functions of functional monomer content.
L-3-n-butylphthalide molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized using l-3-n-butylphthalide as template molecule, acrylamide as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linking agent, and acetone as the porogenic solvent through precipitation polymerization.
