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.
Food plot in Germany. A food plot is a planted area set aside to act as a supplementary food source for wildlife. The term was coined by the U.S. hunting and outdoor industries and food plots are most commonly planted for game species. Food plot crops generally consist of but are not limited to legumes (clovers, alfalfa, beans, etc.), grains ...
Monomer to RAFT reagent: gives the expected degree of polymerization (that is, the number of monomer units in each polymer chain) and can be used to estimate the molecular weight of the polymer by Equation (1) (see below). [12] [14] RAFT reagent to initiator: determines the end groups on the polymer chains.
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.
An example of an ionomer, with carboxylate groups bound to a zinc cation. An ionomer (/ ˌ aɪ ˈ ɑː n ə m ər /) (iono-+ -mer) is a polymer composed of repeat units of both electrically neutral repeating units and ionized units covalently bonded to the polymer backbone as pendant group moieties.
The geography of food is a field of human geography.It focuses on patterns of food production and consumption on the local to global scale. Tracing these complex patterns helps geographers understand the unequal relationships between developed and developing countries in relation to the innovation, production, transportation, retail and consumption of food.
The degree of polymerization, or DP, is the number of monomeric units in a macromolecule or polymer or oligomer molecule. [1] [2] [3]For a homopolymer, there is only one type of monomeric unit and the number-average degree of polymerization is given by ¯ ¯ = ¯, where ¯ is the number-average molecular weight and is the molecular weight of the monomer unit.
Due to the larger size of macromonomers (as opposed to the size of regular monomers), synthetic challenges are brought about, giving reason for the analysis of polymerization mechanisms. Recent studies have shown that macromonomer polymerization kinetics and mechanisms can be significantly affected by the topological effect.
