Copolymers butyl-acrylate-ethyl-methacrylate

Py-GC has also been applied to structural studies on uncured polyesters containing acrylate [18], ethyl acrylate - methylmethacrylate copolymers [57] and 2-hydroxy methacrylate - butyl acrylate - ethyl methacrylate terpolymers [58]. 

Copolymers of acrylonitrile and methyl acrylate and terpolymers of acrylonitrile, styrene, and methyl methacrylate are used as bamer polymers. Acrylonitrile copolymers and multipolymers containing butyl acrylate, ethyl aciylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, methyl methaciylate. vinyl acetate, vinyl ethers, and vinylidene chlonde are also used in bamer films, laminates, and coatings. Environmentally degradable polymers useful in packaging are prepared from polymerization of acrylonitrile with styrene and methyl vinyl ketone.

A large variety of addition copolymers and terpolymers, prepared from hydroxyalkyl acrylates and/or methacrylates have been treated with MA to prepare polymers with pendent maleate residues.An addition polymer prepared from ethyl acrylate-hydroxypropyl methacrylate-styrene was treated sequentially with MA and propylene oxide.Blends of these polymers with vinyl monomers were cured with peroxides to obtain films with physical properties better than regular cured unsaturated polyesters. In another example, a styrene-butyl acrylate-hydroxyethyl methacrylate terpoly-mer was treated with MA to obtain a molding resin.When blended with styrene and cured with peroxides, the molding exhibited low shrink (less than 5%) and Rockwell hardness (M scale) 55. The same chemistry and technology have been explored for preparing radiation-curable coatings. " ... 

Emulsion Polymerization. Emulsion polymerization is the most important industrial method for the preparation of acryhc polymers. The principal markets for aqueous dispersion polymers made by emulsion polymerization of acryhc esters are the paint, paper, adhesives, textile, floor pohsh, and leather industries, where they are used principally as coatings or binders. Copolymers of either ethyl acrylate or butyl acrylate with methyl methacrylate are most common. 

AH-acryHc (100%) latex emulsions are commonly recognized as the most durable paints for exterior use. Exterior grades are usuaHy copolymers of methyl methacrylate with butyl acrylate or 2-ethyIhexyl acrylate (see Acrylic ester polymers). Interior grades are based on methyl methacrylate copolymerized with butyl acrylate or ethyl acrylate. AcryHc latex emulsions are not commonly used in interior flat paints because these paints typicaHy do not require the kind of performance characteristics that acryHcs offer. However, for interior semigloss or gloss paints, aH-acryHc polymers and acryHc copolymers are used almost exclusively due to their exceUent gloss potential, adhesion characteristics, as weU as block and print resistance.

Close to 2 billion pounds of polymeric products based on acrylic and methacrylic esters are produced annually in the United States, about evenly divided between acrylates and methacrylates. A substantial fraction of the methacrylate products are copolymers. Most of the acrylate products are copolymers. The copolymers contain various combinations of acrylate and/or methacrylate monomers, including combinations of ester and acid monomers. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is by far the most important methacrylate ester monomer, accounting for 90% of the volume of methacrylic ester monomers. Ethyl and n-butyl acrylates account for about 80% of the total volume of acrylate ester monomers. 

Ethylene copolymers with methyl methacrylate and ethyl, butyl, and methyl acrylates are similar to EVA products but have improved thermal stability during extrusion and increased low-temperature flexibility. The commercial products generally contain 15-30% of the acrylate or methacrylate comonomer. Applications include medical packaging, disposable gloves, hose, tubing, gaskets, cable insulation, and squeeze toys.

Most research into the study of dispersion polymerization involves common vinyl monomers such as styrene, (meth)acrylates, and their copolymers with stabilizers like polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) [33-40], poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) [18,41],poly(methacrylicacid) [42],or hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) [43,44] in polar media (usually alcohols). However, dispersion polymerization is also used widely to prepare functional microspheres in different media [45, 46]. Some recent examples of these preparations include the (co-)polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) [47,48],4-vinylpyridine (4VP) [49], glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) [50-53], acrylamide (AAm) [54, 55], chloro-methylstyrene (CMS) [56, 57], vinylpyrrolidone (VPy) [58], Boc-p-amino-styrene (Boc-AMST) [59],andAT-vinylcarbazole (NVC) [60] (Table 1). Dispersion polymerization is usually carried out in organic liquids such as alcohols and cyclohexane, or mixed solvent-nonsolvents such as 2-butanol-toluene, alcohol-toluene, DMF-toluene, DMF-methanol, and ethanol-DMSO. In addition to conventional PVP, PAA, and PHC as dispersant, poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) [54], partially hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol) (hydrolysis=35%) [61], and poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-fo-butyl methacrylate)...

(1) The present study will continue the development of the PEMA/PnBA damping materials by incorporating a common comonomer) ethyl acrylate (EA)) in both stages of the emulsion polymerization. 

Examples of acid modified polyolefins are the copolymers of ethylene with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. Variations include the partially neutralised acid copolymers with metal ions (ionomers) or terpolymers of ethylene, an acid and an acrylate such as methyl acrylate or isobutyl acrylate. Acid-containing extrudable adhesives are widely used to bond to aluminium foil. Examples of anhydride-modified polyolefins include terpolymers of ethylene, maleic anhydride and acrylates such as ethyl acrylate or butyl acrylate and the anhydride-grafted polyolefins. Some typical applications and stmctures of a variety of multilayer materials with extruded polymer tie-layer adhesives, as described in Du-Pont trade literature, are detailed in Table 16.2. 

Samples tested were styrene copolymers of methacrylates, acrylates, vinyl acetate, and acrylonitrile, in addition to ethyl methacrylate-butyl methacrylate copolymers. These samples were dissolved in the initial mobile phase and the injection volume was 0.05-0.2 mL. These samples were prepared by solution polymerization at low conversion and have rather narrow CCD. These samples are random (statistical) copolymers. 

Plots of the relationship between the styrene content and retention volume for copolymers of styrene-acrylate and styrene-methacrylate with the same ester group lay roughly on the same line. This result indicates that a pair of copolymers with the same ester group and the same styrene content could not be separated (24), For example, copolymers of styrene-methyl acrylate and styrene-MMA with the same styrene content cannot be separated by this technique. In copolymers with the same styrene content, styrene-butyl acrylate and styrene-butyl methacrylate copolymers eluted first from a column, the copolymers of ethyl esters were next, and those of methyl esters eluted last. 

The paint studied is a typical automotive thermosetting enamel which consists of an epoxy functional acrylic copolymer and butylated melamine crosslinking agent. The acrylic copolymer is composed of methyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, n-butyl acrylate, styrene, acrylonitrile, 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate. Carbon black was used as the pigment. 

Polymers are used frequently in paints and varnishes. These materials are usually filled with opaque materials and are difficult to separate or analyze by other procedures. Pyrolysis can be used to identify the nature of the paint, to measure quantitatively residual monomers, for quality control, and to examine additives [5, 13, 14]. Paints may contain a variety of polymers and copolymers such as vinyl derivatives, polyurethanes, phthalate polyesters, etc. Varnishes may contain various copolymers, siloxanes, etc. and can have a complex composition. This composition can be successfully analyzed using analytical pyrolysis. For example, the composition of a coating material consisting of the terpolymer poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate-co-ethyl methacrylate) crosslinked with butoxy melamine resin has been analyzed with excellent results based on various monomer ratios resulting from pyrolysis at 590° C [15]. 

In ASA terpolymer acrylic acid brings more flexibility and the material has very good mechanical properties and weather resistance. For these reasons ASA is extensively used in automotive industry and in the fabrication of various appliances. Even more frequently than acrylic acid itself, various acrylates are used in copolymers. Among these can be mentioned the copolymers of acrylic acid esters with methacrylic acid esters such as poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methyl acrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl acrylate), poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate), poly(ethyl methacrylate-co-ethyl acrylate), poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl acrylate), poly(alkyl acrylate-co-methyl methacrylates), and poly(alkyl acrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylates) where alkyl can be methyl, ethyl, butyl, etc. Some literature information regarding thermal decomposition of copolymers including acrylic acid and acrylic acid esters is given in Table 6.7.8 [6],...
