General description

The oxygen index (OI) value of PMA is 29.7.

Application

Pentabromobenzyl acrylate can form copolymers with styrene. Polymerization of the monomer in methyl ethyl ketone can yield novel, flame retardant nano/micro sized (0.06 ± 0.01 and 1.70 ± 0.23 μm) particles. Polyamide (PA6) treated with PMA and montorillonite (OMMT) has been described in a study.

Pentabrominated and fluorinated aromatic (meth)acrylates as well as their non-halogenated counterparts have been studied with the aim to avoid conventional photoinitiators and to overcome some negative consequences related to their use. Therefore, RTIR spectroscopy, laser flash photolysis and GC/MS were
