High adhesive acrylate monomer and method for preparing the same
A high adhesive acrylate monomer has a specific chemistry figure. This monomer may be easily prepared in a simplified way, and various linkers may be used between L-DOPA and an acrylate group attached to a tail of L-DOPA, so molecular weight and size of the entire material may be easily controlled. Also, various kinds of acrylate to be combined to a isocyanate compound used as a linker may be selected, so various molecules may be easily composed.
1. A high adhesive acrylate monomer, which has a following chemistry figure 1:
where R2 is hydrogen (—H) or a methyl group (—CH 3 ), and A1 and A2 are alkanediyl having 2 to 12 carbons (C2-C12), cycloalkanediyl having 3 to 8 carbons (C3-C8), aromatic cyclic group having 6 to 12 carbons (C6˜C12), or heteroalkanediyl, independently.
2. A method for preparing a high adhesive acrylate monomer,
wherein a diisocyanate-based compound containing an acrylate group is combined with methylated 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA) to prepare a high adhesive acrylate monomer defined in claim 1 .
3. The method for preparing a high adhesive acrylate monomer according to claim 2 , wherein the method is executed by:

6. The method for preparing a high adhesive acrylate monomer according to claim 3 , wherein the step (S1) includes:
(S11) putting L-DOPA into methanol under a temperature condition of −50° C. to −20° C. and stirring the mixture; and
(S12) slowly adding thionyl chloride whose amount is one to two times in comparison to mole of the L-DOPA, and then stirring the mixture for 12 to 24 hours to methylate the mixture.
