Biocompatible PEA based copolymer membranes may find several applications such as keratoprosthesis.
Acrylate elastomers are widely used in the automotive
industry for seals in automatic transmissions, valve stems,
crankshafts, oil pans, and packings. Other uses include hose,
tubes, boots, spark plugs, and fabric coatings.
Acrylates can be polymerized in a variety of ways including
bulk, solution, suspension, and emulsion polymerization.
The most common industrial methods are suspension and
emulsion polymerization. The three major backbone monomers
used in acrylate elastomers are ethyl acrylate, butyl
acrylate, and methoxyethyl acrylate.
ChEBI: Ethyl acrylate is an enoate ester.
