Acrylic acid-based resin

The acrylic weak base resins are synthesized from copolymers similar to those used for the manufacture of weak acid cation-exchange resins. For example, under appropriate temperature and pressure conditions, a weak acid resin reacts with a polyfunctional amine, such as dimethylaminopropylamine [109-55-7] (7) to give a weak base resin with a tertiary amine functionality. 

Both the styrenic and the acrylic weak base resins are used in industrial applications for the same purposes, primarily the removal of acidic components in... 

Polyacrylate resins can be produced from EPOP by reacting them with acrylic acids. These resins can be applied on solid surfaces and when they are cured by ultraviolet irradiation, clear and glossy finishes result. The hardness and the tackiness can be increased or reduced by varying the amount and types of crosslinkers and the strength of the irradiation used (125-127). Characteristics of some polyacrylates based on epoxidized palm olein are listed in Table 48. 

This versatile technique is generally used where a ply of polyethylene or copolymer thereof is required in a structure. Other polymers may be used in specialized areas but the handling can become more difficult. The process is widely used within the Packaging Industry for the coating of paper, board, foils, cellulose film and thermoplastic films. The most common coating resin used is low-density polyethylene, but this now extends to copolymers such as Ethylene-vinyl acetate, ethylene-acrylic acid, polypropylene, high density polyethylene and ionomers (e.g. Surlyn). The acrylic acid-based materials and ionomers are used in areas in which enhanced adhesive strength is required, such as resistance to difficult environments. 

Bio-Rex 70 2.4 0.70 Weakly acidic cation exchanger with car-boxylate groups on a macroreticular acrylic matrix for separation and fractionation of proteins, peptides, enzymes, and amines, particularly high molecular weight solutes. Does not denature proteins as do styrene-based resins. 

Ionomer resins consisting of ethylene—methacrylic acid copolymers partially neutralized with sodium or zinc were commercially introduced in 1964 by Du Pont under the Sudyn trademark (1). More recently, a similar line of products, sold as Hi-Mdan resins, has been commercialized by Mitsui—Du Pont in Japan. lolon ionomeric resins, based on ethylene—acrylic acid, are produced by Exxon in Belgium. Ionomers containing about 1 mol % of carboxylate groups are offered by BP in Europe as Novex resins. Low molecular weight, waxy Aclyn ionomers are produced and sold by AHiedSignal. 

Extension of the chlorosulfonation technology to base resins other than polyethylene, where value can be added, seems a logical next step. Polypropylene and ethylene copolymers containing additional functionaUty, ie, maleic anhydride graft, vinyl acetate, acrylic acid, etc, have been chlorinated and chlorosulfonated to broaden the appHcation base, particularly in coatings and adhesives (9,10). 

NR, styrene-butadiene mbber (SBR), polybutadiene rubber, nitrile mbber, acrylic copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, and A-B-A type block copolymer with conjugated dienes have been used to prepare pressure-sensitive adhesives by EB radiation [116-126]. It is not necessary to heat up the sample to join the elastomeric joints. This has only been possible due to cross-linking procedure by EB irradiation [127]. Polyfunctional acrylates, tackifier resin, and other additives have also been used to improve adhesive properties. Sasaki et al. [128] have studied the EB radiation-curable pressure-sensitive adhesives from dimer acid-based polyester urethane diacrylate with various methacrylate monomers. Acrylamide has been polymerized in the intercalation space of montmorillonite using an EB. The polymerization condition has been studied using a statistical method. The product shows a good water adsorption and retention capacity [129]. 

It may be, because of the slowness of the acid-base reaction in resin glass polyalkenoate cements, that free poly(acrylic acid) is available for a longer period than in conventional glass polyalkenoate cements, for the... 

Emulsion paints are based on aqueous synthetic resin dispersions, which afford a lacquer-like paint film. The resin dispersions which are commonly used by the paint industry contain water as the carrier phase. A large number of such dispersions are available, based on different resins such as poly(vinyl acetate), which may be employed as a copolymer with vinyl chloride, maleic dibutyl ester, ethylene, acrylic acid esters, polyacrylic resin, and copolymers of the latter with various monomers, as well as styrene-butadiene or poly(vinyl propionate). These disper-... 

Studies of the particle—epoxy interface and particle composition have been helpful in understanding the rubber-particle formation in epoxy resins (306). Based on extensive dynamic mechanical studies of epoxy resin cure, a mechanism was proposed for the development of a heterophase morphology in rubber-modified epoxy resins (307). Other functionalized mbbers, such as amine-terminated butadiene—acrylonitrile copolymers (308) and tf-butyl acrylate—acrylic acid copolymers (309), have been used for toughening epoxy resins.

Similarly to UP resins, VE resins consist of an unsaturated oligomer dissolved in styrene. The unsaturated oligomer is based on the epoxy chemistry (Sec. 2.2.4). When one mole of a DGEBA monomer is reacted with 2 moles of (meth)acrylic acid, an a, oo-di(meth)acrylate oligomer is obtained ...

A weak acid shell resin based on poly(acrylic acid) c)iains grafted to a magnetic core, and containing about 50% y-Fe.>0g by weight, has been used in studies of the dealkalization of hard, alkaline waters [ 29 ]. The reaction removes divalent cations and bicarbonate from bore waters tbe resin is regenerated with mineral aeid.
