Poly(tert-butyl acrylate) is a synthetic acrylate-based polymer featuring a bulky tert-butyl ester side group, commonly used as a component in copolymer formulations rather than as a standalone resin. The material is primarily encountered in research and specialized industrial applications where controlled polymer architecture and functionality are required, such as in adhesives, coatings, and binders, as well as in academic studies of polymer chain behavior and mechanical properties. Its bulky pendant group influences chain packing and molecular interactions, making it valuable in formulations where tuning glass transition temperature or surface properties is critical.
