poly(methacrylic acid-co-methyl methacrylate)

polymer

This is a copolymer combining methacrylic acid (MAA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) units, creating a versatile acrylic material with both hydrophilic carboxylic acid groups and hydrophobic ester segments. The acid-ester balance enables pH-responsive behavior, adhesion promotion, and controlled swelling, making it useful in coatings, adhesives, and biomedical applications where chemical functionality is as important as mechanical performance. Compared to homopolymers, the copolymer composition allows formulators to tune properties like water absorption, adhesion, and biodegradability by adjusting the MAA:MMA ratio.

Safety & Biocompatibility

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
