Acrylic acid is an organic compound widely used in polymer research due to its ability to readily undergo polymerization, resulting in a variety of polyacrylic acid products. In materials science, acrylic acid is key for synthesizing superabsorbent polymers, which are investigated for their water-retaining properties and potential applications in agriculture and personal care products. As a monomer, it is also copolymerized with other substances to produce polymers with specific characteristics, such as improved adhesion, clarity, and resistance to breakage. These copolymers are studied for their use in coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Additionally, acrylic acid′s reactivity with alcohols, leading to the formation of acrylate esters, is explored to enhance the performance of polymers in industrial and consumer goods. Research on the environmental impact and biodegradability of acrylic acid-based materials is conducted to assess their sustainability and ecological footprint.
