General description

Lauryl methacrylate is a monomer that belongs to the class of methacrylate esters, is extensively employed in the manufacturing of diverse polymer materials. Polymers derived from lauryl methacrylate can be employed in personal care products, where they contribute to the formulation′s rheology, stability, and film-forming properties.

Application

Lauryl methacrylate can be used as a monomer:
  • To prepare polymeric co-stabilizer by free-radical copolymerization.
  • To fabricate fluorine-less superhydrophobic cotton fabrics via graft polymerization process.
  • In the synthesis of prepolymers that are used in oil absorbents.
It can also be used to prepare organic polymeric monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatography. Lauryl methacrylate along with dibutyl itaconate used to synthesize copolymers via emulsion polymerization. The copolymers formed from these monomers are specifically targeted for the development of sustainable pressure-sensitive adhesives. It is also used in the fabrication of asymmetrically superhydrophobic cotton fabrics via the mist polymerization process. As a result, the incorporation of lauryl methacrylate through mist polymerization enables the creation of asymmetrically superhydrophobic cotton fabrics, which find potential applications in self-cleaning textiles, water-resistant coatings, and other related fields.
