Mitsubishi Rayon Co. has developed an acrylic asbestos replacement fiber with a tensile strength of almost 600 MPa (87,000 psi) (78,79). In addition, patents for acrylic asbestos replacement fibers have been obtained by Asahi (80), Wuestefeld (81), REDCO (82), and Hoechst (83). The Hoechst fiber, marketed under the trade name Dolanit (originally Dolan 10), is offered in two forms as shown in Table 4. 

In 1901 Otto Rohm reported on his studies of acrylic polymers for his doctoral dissertation. His interest in these materials, however, did not cease at this stage and eventually in 1927 the Rohm and Hass concern at Darmstadt, Germany commenced limited production of poly(methyl acrylate) under the trade names...

A variety of ionomers have been described in the research literature, including copolymers of a) styrene with acrylic acid, b) ethyl acrylate with methacrylic acid, and (c) ethylene with methacrylic acid. A relatively recent development has been that of fluorinated sulfonate ionomers known as Nafions, a trade name of the Du Pont company. These ionomers have the general structure illustrated (10.1) and are used commercially as membranes. These ionomers are made by copolymerisation of the hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon monomers with minor amounts of the appropriate acid or ester. Copolymerisation is followed by either neutralisation or hydrolysis with a base, a process that may be carried out either in solution or in the melt. 

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic and is often marketed under trade-names such as Lexan or Tuffak. It should not be confused with acrylic plastics, marketed under tradenames such as Plexiglas or Lucite, which are flammable and exhibit a brittle failure mode. 

A vast number of polymer compounds are available commercially. Generally they are known by their polymer type in full or abbreviated (e.g., acrylic, polyvinyl chloride or PVC, high density polyethylene or HDPE), and frequently by a manufacturer s trade name. There is little standardisation into classes based on chemical composition or physical performance, as there is for metals. In reality, a particular chemical composition does not fully define the physical properties, while each class of performance properties can be met by a range of competing polymer types. The current trend is towards further diversification polymer compounds are increasingly being tailored to a particular application. Only in industries where recycling is an issue is there pressure for a more limited number of polymers, which can be identified and separated at the end of product life. 

Trade names for acrylate and methacrylate polymer products include Acrylite, Dicalite, Lucite, Plexiglas, and Rhoplex. 

Terpolymers in which the acrylate monomer is the major component are useful as ethylene-acrylate elastomers (trade name Vamac) [Hagman and Crary, 1985]. A small amount of an alkenoic acid is present to introduce sites (C=C) for subsequent crosslinking via reaction with primary diamines (Sec. 9-2d). These elastomers have excellent oil resistance and stability over a wide temperature range (—50 to 200°C). They are superior to nitrile and chloroprene rubbers. Although not superior to silicone and fluorocarbon elastomers, they are less costly uses include automotive (hydraulic system seals, hoses) and wire and cable insulation. 

Propene is used as a starting material for numerous other compounds. Chief among these are isopropyl alcohol, acrylonitrile, and propylene oxide. Isopropyl alcohol results from the hydration of propylene during cracking and is the primary chemical derived from propylene. Isopropyl alcohol is used as a solvent, antifreeze, and as rubbing alcohol, but its major use is for the production of acetone. Acrylonitrile is used primarily as a monomer in the production of acrylic fibers. Polymerized acrylonitrile fibers are produced under the trade names such as Orion (DuPont) and Acrilan (Monsanto). Acrylonitrile is also a reactant in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, synthetic rubber, and resins. Acrylonitrile production occurs primarily through ammoxidation of propylene CH3- CH = CH2 + NH3 + 1.5 02—> CH2 = CH - C = N + 3 H20. 

Methyl methacrylate is only one of a family of monomers, including the various esters of acrylic, methacrylic, and ethacrylic acids, which are polymerized to produce the thermoplastic resins known as the acrylates. A wide variety of reactions and starting materials may be utilized for their production however, the principal commercial product is polymethyl methacrylate, sold by Du Pont and Rohm Haas under the trade names of Lucite and Plexiglas, respectively. These materials were introduced to the United States market in 1936 (44) and have received widespread acceptance due principally to their outstanding optical properties. Production in 1949 was reported as about 22,000,000 to 25,000,000 pounds and peak wartime capacity was above30,000,000 pounds. While this can account for only about 2% of the current production of propylene for chemical purposes, the acrylate resins are of considerable commercial importance as they are sold at a relatively high price and are the only materials available that will meet the requirements for certain military and civilian products. 

Another area in which smart hydrogels are likely to find application is the development of more efficient drug delivery systems. One material that has showed promise in this held is called Pluronic-PAA. Its trade name is Smart Hydrogel . The material is a mixture of two polymers, one of which is poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), which attaches readily to other biological materials and is responsive to changes in pH. The other polymer is a copolymer of poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). This copolymer belongs to a family of polymers known by the trade name of Pluronic polymers. 

Recently Uniqema has introduced commercially a Surfmer under the trade name of Maxemul 5011. Maxemul is produced by esterification of an unsaturated fatty anhydride with a methoxy PEG such that the reactive group is close to the hydrophilic moiety [ 34 ]. Stable latexes with a solid content of 52% were produced in the seeded emulsion polymerization of film-forming methyl methacrylate/butyl acrylate/acrylic acid (3% Surfmer on monomers, constant monomer feeding rate over 4 h, potassium persulfate/sodium metabisulfate redox initiator). The latexes were stable to electrolytes but not to freeze-thaw. 

Modar is also the trade name for a range of acrylic resins and the name of a maker of modular architectural components.

A mixture of acrylonitrile and carbon tetrachloride was used as a pesticide in the past. - Acrylonitrile is highly flammable and toxic. It undergoes explosive polymerization. The... 

Trade names of two polymeric flame retardants have been reported in the technical literature Fire Guard 7500 (159, Sankyo Organic Chemicals, Co), a functionalized oligocarbonate for ABS prepared from 4,4 -isopropylidenebis(di-bromophenol) and FR 1025, poly(pentabromobenzyl acrylate) (76, Technion) [68]. 

Moldability of aryl polyesters have also been improved by the use of polybutylene terephthalate (PET) instead of PET or by the use of blends of PET and PET. PET under the trade name of Celanex, Valox, Gafite and Versel is being produced at an annual rate of 25 thousand tons. Copolymers of carbonate and aryl esters, acrylics and aryl esters, and imide and aryl esters as well as physical blends of polyesters and other polymers are available. These aryl polyesters are being used for bicycle wheels, springs, and blow molded containers. The properties of typical aryl polyesters are as follows ...
