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 study ...

Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is hydrophilic acrylic polymer with unique assets, including transparency, good mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The pHEMA hydroxyl groups can be ...

Polyacrylamide / acrylate is a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylic acid (normally supplied as the sodium salt) that is cross-linked sufficiently to render it insoluble in water but which retains its ...

Despite the best efforts of industry to work towards sustainability, most plastics (or polymers) are still made using non-renewable fossil fuels. However, researchers have now found an economical ...
