Applications of acrylic polymers

Polymers of acrylic derivatives. Methyl acrylate, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, and the like in acrylic derivatives are all important monomers. Polymethyl acrylate is widely used in the manufacture of adhesives; polyacrylamide is a hydrophilic polymer widely used in soil improvement, beneficiation, flocculants, coagulants, and biomedical materials; polyacrylonitrile is one of the most important fiber varieties As a wool substitute.
Polymethyl methacrylate The monomer methyl methacrylate is an α-methyl substitution of methyl acrylate. Polymethyl methacrylate has excellent light transmission and is often referred to as "plexiglass" (see Polymethacrylate).
Other acrylic polymers α-cyanoacrylate can polymerize in contact with water, alcohol, etc. It is an instant adhesive that is easy to use, has high adhesive strength and fast action. Copolymerization of α-chloromethyl acrylate with other monomers can increase the softening point of the latter. Copolymerization of α-carboxymethacrylic acid and acrylonitrile can improve the water absorption and dyeing properties of polyacrylonitrile fibers.
