General description

Poly(hexadecyl methacrylate) belongs to a class of long chain of poly (alkyl) methacrylate. It can be dissolved in benzene and heptane.

Application

Poly(hexyl methacrylate)(PHMA) may be used to prepare amphiphilic block copolymers with -poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). These block copolymers may be used as structure directing agents for the preparation organic-inorganic hybrid materials from organic, volatile solvents.

Other Notes
