Overview
-
Poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) is hygroscopic, brittle and colorless in nature with Tg at nearly 106 o C. At temperatures above 200 to 250 o C, it loses water and becomes an insoluble crosslinked polymer anhydride. Solubility of dried PAA in water increases with rise in temperatures. Concentrated solutions of PAA in water is thixotropic in nature.
Application
Applications of PAA may include: to study solute diffusion in Polyvinyl alcohol/PAA copolymer hydrogel synthesizing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-PAA copolymer which responds to both temperature and pH stimuli in preparing block copolymer of oligo (methyl methacrylate)/PAA for micellar delivery of hydrophobic drugs as thickening agent for adhesives.Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
