Application

Can be polymerized in solution or emulsion to produce acrylic, vinyl-acrylic, or styrenic-acrylic polymers with greater flexibility due to lower glass transition of itshomopolymer (<30C) and improved adhesion.

Features and Benefits

More reactive in its salt form than acylic acid, allowing high levels of incorporation over awide pH range. Also see Poly(2-carboxyethyl) acrylate, 407585.

The possibility of the application of acrylate compositions and Bayfol HX photopolymers in holographic technologies is considered. The holographic characteristics of materials, their advantages, and limitations in relation to the tasks of obtaining holographic elements based on periodic structures are

Although a range of polymer-protein polyion complex (PIC) micelle systems have been developed in the literature, relatively little attention has been paid to the influence of polymer structure on the assembly, or to the mechanism of disassembly. In this work

Local mechanical stiffness influences cell behavior, and thus cell culture scaffolds should approximate the stiffness of the tissue type from which the cells are derived. In synthetic hydrogels, this has been difficult to achieve for very soft tissues such as
