Uses of Select Organic Chemicals
| Chemicals (in Alphabetical Order) | Structure and Properties | Typical Examples of Use |
| Acrylic materials: polymethyl methacrylate, man-made organic polymers | Large organic molecules formed by polymerizing unsaturated molecules (alkenes with the C C double bond) such as methyl acrylate (methyl propanoate), methyl methyl acrylate (methyl 2-methyl propanoate), acrylonitrile, and acrylic. | Used to make tough flexible plastics or sticky resins that can solidify in context, e.g., paints, molded bone substitute. These resins and plastics have a huge range of uses. Poly(methyl acrylate) is used in emulsion form ... |
