Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is an ester of methacrylic acid and glycidol. Containing both an epoxide and an acrylate group, the molecule is bifunctional. It is a common monomer used in the production of epoxy resins. While typical home epoxies contain diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), glycidyl methacrylate is instead used to provide epoxy functionalization to polyolefins and other acrylate resins. Glycidyl methacrylate is produced by several companies worldwide, including Dow Chemical.[http://www.dow.com/en-us/markets-and-solutions/products/glycidylmethacrylate/glycidylmethacrylate/ Dow Chemical Marketing Page, retrieved November 2015] It is used to prepare a range of composites.{{cite journal |doi=10.1016/j.carbon.2011.06.095|title=Thermal conductivity and structure of non-covalent functionalized graphene/Epoxy composites |year=2011 |last1=Teng |first1=Chih-Chun |last2=Ma |first2=Chen-Chi M. |last3=Lu |first3=Chu-Hua |last4=Yang |first4=Shin-Yi |last5=Lee |first5=Shie-Heng |last6=Hsiao |first6=Min-Chien |last7=Yen |first7=Ming-Yu |last8=Chiou |first8=Kuo-Chan |last9=Lee |first9=Tzong-Ming |journal=Carbon |volume=49 |issue=15 |pages=5107–5116 }}{{cite journal |doi=10.1038/nmat1890|title=Multifunctional chondroitin sulphate for cartilage tissue–biomaterial integration |year=2007 |last1=Wang |first1=Dong-An |last2=Varghese |first2=Shyni |last3=Sharma |first3=Blanka |last4=Strehin |first4=Iossif |last5=Fermanian |first5=Sara |last6=Gorham |first6=Justin |last7=Fairbrother |first7=D.
