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.
The recovered monomers then are purified, but the costs and complexity have prevented this from becoming the norm. [30] Another approach binds monomers to the ends of long polymer chains. Those monomers detach when heated, triggering the chain to disassemble, with monomer yields of up to 90%, although the presence of dyes reduce this number.

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.

Liquid polybutadienes are made by anionic or radical polymerization in hydrocarbon solutions. Butyl rubber (IIR) by low temperature cationic copolymerization of isobutylene with isoprene in ethylene or methylchloride solution. Aromatic polyamides (e.g. Kevlar and Nomex) are made by polycondensation in N-methyl-pyrrolidone and calcium chloride ...
In polymer chemistry, suspension polymerization is a heterogeneous radical polymerization process that uses mechanical agitation to mix a monomer or mixture of monomers in a liquid phase, such as water, while the monomers polymerize, forming spheres of polymer. [2] The monomer droplets (size of the order 10-1000 μm) are suspended in the liquid ...
Many monomers are purified industrially by distillation, which can lead to thermally-initiated polymerisation. Styrene, for example, is distilled at temperatures above 100 °C whereupon it undergoes thermal polymerisation at a rate of ~2% per hour. [ 1 ]
