Summary

INTRODUCTION

There is a general trend in creating materials in a more sustainable way. The main drivers of this trend are environmental concerns, stricter regulations, fear of fossil fuel depletion, and volatility of crude oil prices.[1]. Acrylic polymers have been commercially active for quite some time They started as 30%−40% solution of high molecular weight and with no functionality employed. High solid highly functionalized oligomeric polymer chains are synthesized to comply with regulations.[4] Such acrylic resins are produced at elevated temperatures (>120 °C) which helps with the control and rate of polymerization in low solvent formulations. This comes with a trade-off high reaction temperatures promote the phenomenon of secondary reactions. The latter is of statistical origin, while the first belongs in the pool of kinetic methods.[9]
