Description

• General description: tert-Butyl acrylate is an organic chemical compound that can be used as a monomer for the preparation of various types of polymers with desirable characteristics. It can undergo free-radical polymerization, which is a common method used to produce polymeric materials. Additionally, tert-butyl acrylate polymers can be copolymerized with other monomers to modify their properties. The versatility of tert-butyl acrylate makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, and specialty films.
• Application: tert-Butyl acrylate is a monomer used to produce poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) polymers and copolymers, and poly(acrylic acid) polyelectrolyte brushes. It undergoes radiation polymerization to form TBA-gels for radio-fluorogenic dose imaging applications.[1] The monomer can be used to synthesize Poly(t-butyl acrylate). [2] It may be used as a reactive diluent in a study.tert-Butyl acrylate can also be used as: A building block in the synthesis of asymmetric membranes, which are potentially useful in filtration, separation, or gas permeation processes.A monomer in the preparation of a siloxane-incorporated copolymer binder for silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries.A monomer in the synthesis of poly(tert-butyl acrylate)/carbon nanofiber (CNF) materials through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).
