Application

Poly (acrylic acid) (PAA)/Poly methyl methacrylate copolymers are used for drug delivery.Other applications may include:to study solute diffusion in Polyvinyl alcohol/PAA copolymer hydrogelsynthesizing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-PAA copolymer which responds to both temperature and pH stimuliin preparing block copolymer of oligo (methyl methacrylate)/PAA for micellar delivery of hydrophobic drugsas thickening agent for adhesives.

General description

Poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) is hygroscopic, brittle and colorless in nature with T_g at nearly 106^oC. At temperatures above 200 to 250^oC, 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.
