Uses
Poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) may be used to prepare polymer blends with polystyrene using organically modified clay as emulsifier.
Definition
ChEBI: An acrylic macromolecule composed of repeating ethyl methacrylate units.
General Description
PEMA is known to exhibit biocompatibility and
in vivo stability in its various use in implants and medical devices. Sorption of low solubility gases in PEMA was observed to be comparatively lower that polymers with high transition temperature.
Solubility in organics
acetone, benzene, chloroform, MEK, THF, toluene
