Polyurethane (PU)-acrylic hybrid composites were prepared by emulsion polymerization of acrylic monomers in the presence of preformed PU chains containing polymerizable terminal vinyl groups. To ...

Sulfur-containing acrylic monomers were developed for high refractive index. The index of polymer films increased with the number of sulfur atoms in the monomer structure. Trisulfur-acrylic ...

Utilizing unique reactivities of the diazocarbonyl groups on these compounds, a variety of new polymers with an unprecedented chemical structure have been prepared. Credit: Polymer Journal (2024 ...

Most coatings are made up of polymers based on acrylate monomers, with the global production of acrylate exceeding 3.5 million tonnes a year, all produced from fossil oil. Biomass ...

Most skin adhesive glues used today are made from a type of acrylate polymer known as cyanoacrylate. At first, cyanoacrylates were used for non-medical purposes. Have you ever heard of superglue? It ...
