Core Application Areas and Typical Scenarios

1. Semiconductor Photoresists

ArF Photoresist: Used as a matrix resin monomer and compounded with α-butyrolactone methacrylate (GBLMA) and 3-hydroxy-1-adamantyl acrylate (HADA), it can prepare high-sensitivity photoresists with a resolution of 28 nm. Its adamantane structure regulates the dissolution rate through acidolysis, achieving a development contrast of 3.8 after 193 nm laser exposure, meeting the requirements of advanced processes.

Negative Photoresist: After forming an inclusion complex with cyclodextrin, it can construct a supramolecular cross-linking network that maintains colloid softness even in a -30°C freezing environment. It is used for automatic labeling of refrigerated blood bags, solving the problem of traditional acrylate adhesives becoming brittle at low temperatures.

2. Optical Materials

High Refractive Index Coating: Compounded with isosorbide diacrylate, it can prepare transparent resins with a refractive index of 1.58 for smartphone camera lenses. Its light transmittance (88%) and scratch resistance hardness (4H) are superior to commercially available PMMA materials.

UV-curing Lens: Adding 5-10% EAA to the UV curing system can improve the uniformity of lens refractive index to Δn<±0.0005, making it suitable for micro-nano optical components in AR/VR devices.

3. High-performance Adhesives

Extreme Environment Resistant Adhesive: Copolymerized with polyurethane acrylate, it can prepare structural adhesives resistant to temperature cycles from -50°C to 180°C. Used for bonding aircraft engine components, its shear strength (22 MPa) and fatigue life (10? cycles) far exceed traditional epoxy adhesives.

Biodegradable Pressure-sensitive Adhesive: Compounded with polylactic acid block polymers, it can prepare eco-friendly tapes that fully degrade within 30 minutes after contact with water, solving the application limitations of traditional acrylate adhesives in open-air operations.

4. Smart Responsive Materials

Thermo-sensitive Hydrogel: Copolymerized with N-isopropylacrylamide, it can construct a smart hydrogel with an LCST (Lower Critical Solution Temperature) of 32°C for drug sustained-release systems. Its swelling ratio (500%) and mechanical strength (264 kPa) are superior to ordinary PNIPAM gels.

Photo-responsive Polymer: By introducing EAA via radical polymerization, a photoresist that undergoes volume shrinkage (shrinkage rate 12%) under 365 nm light irradiation can be prepared, used for precision molding of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).
