Methyl methacrylate adhesion promoters

Most of the polymer s characteristics stem from its molecular stmcture, which like POE, promotes solubiUty in a variety of solvents in addition to water. It exhibits Newtonian rheology and is mechanically stable relative to other thermoplastics. It also forms miscible blends with a variety of other polymers. The water solubiUty and hot meltable characteristics promote adhesion in a number of appHcations. PEOX has been observed to promote adhesion comparable with PVP and PVA on aluminum foil, cellophane, nylon, poly(methyl methacrylate), and poly(ethylene terephthalate), and in composite systems improved tensile strength and Izod impact properties have been noted. 

The following properties of the coating can be ascribed to individual monomers [2.41], Methyl methacrylate promotes weather resistance, lightfastness, hardness, gloss, and gloss retention. Styrene increases hardness and resistance to water, chemicals, and salt spray, but reduces lightfastness and gloss retention. Alkyl acrylates and alkyl methacrylates impart flexibility and hydrophobicity, while acrylic acid and methacrylic acid improve adhesion to metals. 

There have been efforts to put scanning tips to different uses in which the scanning probe is employed neither as an electrode nor as a monomer/CP delivery mechanism, but as a nanomechanical tip to create scratches on a substrate to guide the growth or promote selective adhesion of CP nanofeatures. For example, it has been shown that a tip can be used to scratch the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) layer on top of electrolyte and catalyst underlayers to achieve selective chemical polymerization of pyrrole monomer on...

Solvent adhesives and reactive adhesives are made from homo- and copolymers of methacrylates, generally methyl and ethyl methacrylate and, occasionally, butyl methacrylate. Monomeric (meth)acrylates are also used in reactive adhesive systems (polymerization adhesives). Poly(ethyIene glycol) dimethacrylates are the basis of anaerobically curing liquid resins (reactive adhesives). They also are added as adhesion promoters to plastisol adhesives. Acrylate-ethylene copolymers, in some cases with a small content of carboxyl groups, are used instead of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers as fusible polymers for special hot-melt adhesives. Salts of polyacrylate and acrylate - acrylic acid copolymers are used as thickeners for aqueous adhesive solutions and emulsion-based adhesives. 

Plastisol Adhesives. PVC or poly(methyl methacrylate) powder + plasticizer + adhesion promoter. Uses metals (sheet-metal constructions), silicate-containing materials. 

Most of the water-soluble monomers, such as the acrylic and methacrylic acids, are functional monomers and are covered in Section 6.2.3. In Table 6.1 the most water-soluble monomers are acrylamide, acrylonitrile, methyl acrylate and vinyl acetate. Acrylamide contains two reactive centres. The amide group undergoes the reactions characteristic to aliphatic amides. For this reason, acrylamide may be considered as a functional monomer. Copolymerization of acrylamide with other monomers is often done to incorporate hydrophilic centres in oleophylic polymers to promote adhesion and dye acceptance. The monomer is available either as a solid or as a 50% aqueous solution. The latter is the preferred form, since it eliminates handling of a solid. The monomer is a neurotoxin and exposure to skin or inhalation must be prevented. Acrylamide solution is stabilized with cupric ions. Cupric ion availability is pH dependent and the pH must be between 5.2 and 6. Storage temperature should be between 16 and 32 °C...
