acrylate
Sign in to saveAlso known as propenoate
Acrylates (IUPAC: prop-2-enoates) are the salts, esters, and conjugate bases of acrylic acid. The acrylate ion is the anion . Often, acrylate refers to esters of acrylic acid, the most common member being methyl acrylate. These acrylates contain vinyl groups. These compounds are of interest because they are bifunctional: the vinyl group is susceptible to polymerization and the carboxylate group carries myriad functionalities.

==Monomers== Acrylates are defined by the formula , where R can be many groups: Acrylic acid Methyl acrylate Ethyl acrylate 2-Chloroethyl vinyl ether 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate Butyl acrylate Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) The versatility of the resulting polymers is owed to the range of R groups.
