This comprises original publications in scientific journals or serials proceedings, in which the latest information and data are published for the first time. Primary literature includes dissertations and theses, journals, patents, conference proceedings, research reports, and preprints the latter three are often called gray literature). 

We are indebted to Prof. 5. Julia, Dr. J.-C. Clinet and Dr. G. Linstrumelle for submitting experimental details from the dissertation of Clinet (Paris, November 1980), prior ta publication of full papers on this subject.

Historically, the development of the acrylates proceeded slowly they first received serious attention from Otto Rohm. AcryUc acid (propenoic acid) was first prepared by the air oxidation of acrolein in 1843 (1,2). Methyl and ethyl acrylate were prepared in 1873, but were not observed to polymerize at that time (3). In 1880 poly(methyl acrylate) was reported by G. W. A. Kahlbaum, who noted that on dry distillation up to 320°C the polymer did not depolymerize (4). Rohm observed the remarkable properties of acryUc polymers while preparing for his doctoral dissertation in 1901 however, a quarter of a century elapsed before he was able to translate his observations into commercial reaUty. He obtained a U.S. patent on the sulfur vulcanization of acrylates in 1912 (5). Based on the continuing work in Rohm s laboratory, the first limited production of acrylates began in 1927 by the Rohm and Haas Company in Darmstadt, Germany (6). Use of this class of compounds has grown from that time to a total U.S. consumption in 1989 of approximately 400,000 metric tons. Total worldwide consumption is probably twice that.
