By incorporating the aliphatic tricyclodecyl methacrylate moiety into the PMMA-co-PMAA main chain results in high glass transition temperature and high transparency of PMMA-based polymeric material.
An energy, volume and mass (EVM) model, involving four physico-chemical descriptor variables, i.e. van der Waals energy, internal energy, volume, and mass, to successfully predict the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of aliphatic acrylate and methacrylate polymers, has been previously described.
The aliphatic chains of the methacrylate derivative copolymerized with trisiloxane in the hybrid membranes improved the mechanical properties of the membranes.
A comparison with the data available in the literature on acrylates and other methacrylates of varying aliphatic side chain length has been performed.
Methyl methacrylate is hydrolyzed to methacrylic acid by carboxylesterases.
Dynamic mechanical properties and morphology of poly styrene-co-sodium methacrylate) ionomers containing disodium salts of alipoly styrene-co-sodiumestigated.
The model has been assessed by batch miniemulsion polymerizations carried out using an aliphatic isocyanate prepolymer, n-butyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomers and potassium persulfate as an initiator.
The components used to build the acidic polymer library are methyl methacrylate (MMA), acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic acid (MAA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate (EEMA), styrene (STY), and divinylbenzene (DVB).
The most widely used initiators produce free radicals (reactive atoms or groups of atoms that contain odd numbers of electrons); examples include peroxides and aliphatic azo compounds used to polymerize vinyl chloride, methyl methacrylate, and other monomers.
For comparison, the effect of these aliphatic acids on the traditional thermoresponsive linear poly 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (poly 2-dimethylaminoethylopyl acrylamethacrylatem) was also studied.
