akrüüleshappest

Akrüüleshappest is a chemical compound with the formula C3H4O2. It is an unsaturated carboxylic acid and is the simplest of the acrylic acids. Akrüüleshappest is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It is miscible with water, alcohols, and ethers. Its chemical structure features a vinyl group attached to a carboxyl group. This makes it highly reactive and capable of undergoing polymerization reactions.

Akrüüleshappest is a monomer used in the production of various polymers, most notably poly(akrüüleshappest). This polymer and its derivatives are widely used in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, adhesives, textiles, and plastics. The reactivity of akrüüleshappest allows for the creation of materials with diverse properties, such as flexibility, hardness, and resistance to chemicals and weathering.

Industrially, akrüüleshappest is primarily produced through the oxidation of propylene. This process involves several steps and requires specific catalysts. Due to its reactive nature, akrüüleshappest requires careful handling and storage to prevent unwanted polymerization, which can be initiated by heat, light, or contaminants. It is considered an irritant and can cause burns to skin and eyes.
