MMA is a raw material for the manufacture of other methacrylates. These derivatives include ethyl methacrylate (EMA), butyl methacrylate (BMA) and 2-ethyl hexyl methacrylate (2-EHMA). Methacrylic acid (MAA) is used as a chemical intermediate as well as in the manufacture of coating polymers, construction chemicals and textile applications.
Molecular dynamics has also been applied for more detailed analysis of systems before polymerisation, [20] [21] and of the resulting polymer, [22] which by including more system components (initiator, cross-linkers, solvents) provides greater accuracy in predicting successful MIP synthesis than monomer-template interactions alone.
Methacrylic acid, abbreviated MAA, is an organic compound with the formula CH 2 =C(CH 3)CO 2 H. This colorless, viscous liquid is a carboxylic acid with an acrid unpleasant odor.
The monomers, which are self-assembled around the template molecule by interaction between functional groups on both the template and monomers, are polymerized to form an imprinted matrix (commonly known in the scientific community as a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP)).
As a reactive monomer, 2-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate forms homopolymers and copolymers with acrylic acid and acrylic acid salts, amides and esters, as well as methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, chloroethene (vinyl chloride), 1,1-dichloroethene, styrene, 1,3-butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils.
A colorless liquid, it is a common monomer for the preparation of acrylate polymers. [1] It is typically polymerized under free-radical conditions. [2] Ethyl methacrylate was first obtained by treating ethyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate with phosphorus pentachloride in a dehydration reaction. [3]

The degree of composition drift is directly affected by the reactivity ratios of each monomer in the copolymer system. Both the Mayo-Lewis equation and plot of the equation make evident that as monomer conversion increases, the copolymer composition will drift as the preferences for monomers change due to the interaction between reactivity ...
