LaTeX (/ ˈ l ɑː t ɛ k / ⓘ LAH-tek or / ˈ l eɪ t ɛ k / LAY-tek, [2] [Note 1] often stylized as L a T e X) is a software system for typesetting documents. [3] LaTeX markup describes the content and layout of the document, as opposed to the formatted text found in WYSIWYG word processors like Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Microsoft Word.
Polyacrylate emulsion, water-borne coating, are used as binder for outdoor and indoor "latex" house paints.; Acrylic paints as artist paints.; Acrylic fibre.; Sodium polyacrylate water-soluble thickeners, a polymer for the production of the Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) used in disposable diapers due to its high absorbency per unit mass.
Liquid Latex intended for mold-making may cause serious eye irritation. [6] If liquid latex gets in your eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do, and continue rinsing. Latex is also a common allergen, and may trigger an allergic reaction in some people.
Glazed pottery or aluminium or plastic cups became more common in Kerala-India and other countries. The cups are supported by a wire that encircles the tree. This wire incorporates a spring so it can stretch as the tree grows. The latex is led into the cup by a galvanised "spout" knocked into the bark.
Acrylic resin is a common ingredient in latex paint (UK: "emulsion paint"). Latex paints with a greater proportion of acrylic resin offer better stain protection, greater water resistance, better adhesion, greater resistance to cracking and blistering, and resistance to alkali cleaners compared to those with vinyl.

Foam rubber was first made in 1929, by E. A. Murphy [2] and Eric Owen, two research chemists at Dunlop Rubber, who used whipped latex. In 1937, isocyanate-based materials were first used to make foam rubber. After World War II, styrene-butadiene rubber replaced many natural types of foam. Foam rubber has been used commercially for a wide range ...
Polyisoprene of latex rubber is an example of a natural polymer, and the polystyrene of styrofoam is an example of a synthetic polymer. In biological contexts, essentially all biological macromolecules —i.e., proteins (polyamides), nucleic acids (polynucleotides), and polysaccharides —are purely polymeric, or are composed in large part of ...
