The phrase "acrylate functional" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to chemistry, materials science, or polymer science, particularly when describing compounds or materials that contain acrylate groups.
Example: "The new adhesive is designed to be acrylate functional, enhancing its bonding capabilities with various substrates."
Alternatives: "acrylate-based" or "acrylate-modified".
Varying the thiol functionality, as well as the relative stoichiometries of the thiol and acrylate functional groups, provides a facile means to control the kinetic chain length distribution and the concomitant degradation behavior of these systems.
In the developed thermosetting polymer solution, UV reactive acrylate functional groups allow compatibility with UV curing-based 3D printing techniques such as digital light processing (DLP 15, 26, mask projection stereolithography27, 28, and two-photon lithography18, 29, which enables high-resolution 3D printing with complex geometries (Stage I in Fig. 1a).
At a later point in time, the excess acrylate functional groups are homopolymerized via a photoinitiated free radical polymerization to form a second stage polymer network (stage 2).
The dendrimers bear hydroxyl or acrylate functional groups and were prepared via a divergent approach using readily available methoxypoly ethylene glycol) (mPEG), acryloyl chloride, and 1-thioglycerol as building blocks.
Using a thiol-acrylate system with excess acrylate functional groups, a first stage polymer network is formed via a 1 to 1 stoichiometric thiol-acrylate Michael addition reaction (stage 1).
By varying the monomers within the system as well as the stoichiometery of the thiol to acrylate functional groups, we demonstrate the ability of the two-stage polymer network forming systems to encompass a wide range of properties at the end of both the stage 1 and stage 2 polymerizations.
Free radical copolymerizations of the monomers with an acrylate-functional poly ethylene oxide) (PEO) macromonomer produced graft copolymers.
Free radical copolymerization of n-butylacrylamide phosphonate with an acrylate-functional PEO macromonomer, then removal of the ethyl groups from the phosphonates led to poly n-butylacrylamide poly n-butylacrylamide cophosphonic
Peptides also have been functionalized with acrylate groups for reaction with acrylate functionalized PEG as well as acrylamide.
Non-covalent imprinted polymers were prepared by using the synthesized disaccharide as a template and a primary amine functionalized acrylate as the key functional monomer suitable for specific sulfated sugar recognition.
Well-defined block copolymers based on a halogen terminated polystyrene (Pst) macroinitiator and the functional acrylate and methacrylate monomers were successfully synthesized by ATRP, and subsequent deprotection of the protective groups from the acrylate or methacrylate segment afforded amphiphilic block copolymers with a specific solubility behavior.
