Compound Q&A
How is POLY(METHYL ACRYLATE) (CAS: 9003-21-8) typically synthesized?
Answer
POLY(METHYL ACRYLATE) (PMMA) is synthesized via free radical polymerization of methyl acrylate monomer. Commonly, benzoyl peroxide or azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) is used as the initiator. The reaction is typically carried out in the presence of a solvent like toluene at elevated temperatures, usually in the range of 60-85°C.
