It is an acrylic monomer. It may be prepared either by reacting acetylene with carbon monoxide and ethyl alcohol in the presence of nickel carbonyl and hydrogen chloride as catalysts, or by catalyzed esterification of acrylic acid with alcohol. It polymerizes readily under the influence of heat, light or other initiators.
Application
Used in the manufacture of a variety of polymers and copolymers. It is also used as an ingredient in latex paints., binders , caulks, lubricating oils, polishes, adhesives, fibers, plastics and other products.
A collagen-based copolymer, ASC-g-Poly(methyl methacrylate-co-Ethyl Acrylate), was synthesized in the presence of Graphene Oxide (GO) via an in-situ polymerization. The presence of GO that increased the accessible surface area for initiated collagen chains allowed for an accelerated polymerization with highly

In this study, Acid Soluble Collagen-g-P(methyl methacrylate-co-ethyl acrylate) (CME) was synthesized to take advantage of the flexibility of the resulted branched polymer chains and the high density of their chain entanglement. The coaxial electrospinning technique was applied to study the
The development of polymeric materials with cell adhesion abilities requires an understanding of cell-surface interactions which vary with cell type. To investigate the correlation between cell attachment and the nature of the polymer, a series of random and block copolymers

An OH-functional polyester has been acrylated via transesterification of ethyl acrylate, catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) in two different preparations: Novozym 435 and immobilized on Accurel MP1000. The batch process resulted in incomplete acrylation as well as severe

The direct cross-coupling of quinoline-N-oxides with olefin derivatives has been realized using palladium acetate as the catalyst in the absence of external ligand and oxidant to give the corresponding 2-alkenylated quinolines and 1-alkenylated isoquinolines chemo- and regioselectively in 27-95% yield.
