Resumen:
Acrylic polymers are considered as one of the most versatile materials because their chemical, physical and mechanical properties can be modulated by an appropriate selection of its ester constituent and comonomer. These kinds of polymers have properties that make them suitable for a variety of industrial applications, among the most interesting are those related to varnishes, adhesives and biomaterials1.
The use of microwave energy in chemical reactions, such as the polymerization of acrylic monomers, is a friendly environment technology, because the reaction times using microwave energy are lower than those used in the polymerizations carried out under conventional heating2.
The effect of the microwave energy on the polymerization of a series of acrylic monomers: benzyl acrylate (BA), p-nitrobenzyl acrylate (pNBA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA), was studied in detail.
