Acrylic acid is the simplest unsaturated carboxylic acid which has double bond and carboxyl group in C3 one molecule with the formula CH2=CHCOOH. The vinyl group is attached to the carbonyl carbon directly. The systemic name is 2-propenoic acid. Acrylic acid has two reaction points or functional groups required for polymerization process. Purified (glacial) acrylic acid is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor (Acidity (pKa) 4.35). It is miscible with water, but soluble in ether and alcohol. Acrylic acid undergoes the typical reactions of a carboxylic acid and forms acrylic esters - basic alkyl esters are methyl, butyl, ethyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. Acrylic acid and its esters undergo the reactions of the double bond which readily combine with themselves or other monomers (e.g with methacrylates, acrylonitrile, maleic acid esters, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, butadiene, unsaturated polyesters and drying oils, etc.) to form homopolymers or co-polymers which are used in the production of propellant binders/elastomers, coatings, adhesives, caulks, elastomers, super absorbent polymers, flocculants, as well as fibres and plastics. Acrylate polymers show a wide range of properties dependent on the type of the monomers and reaction conditions. Due to its low volatile nature plus reactivity of double bonds, it is also the perfect choice for plasticising many applications. Commonly used with a monomer containing reactive cure sites selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups (HTPB), glycidyl groups, carboxylic acid groups (CTPB), and unsaturated cure sites is incorporated into a rubbery polymer (R-45 polybutadiene/HTPB, PBAN/CTPB, Polyester F17-80/CTPB and HC434 resins/CTPB).
