“…Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) is a synthetic and a hydrophobic polymer, which is also easy to process. However, PMMA fibers bring some limitations such as brittleness and low strength, which restricts its efficient use in engineering . These limitations can be overcome by blending it with a natural polymer .…”

“…PMMA-based graft copolymers possess increased mechanical strength than their polymer blend counterparts. Tomić et al have investigated the adhesive and mechanical properties of a poly­(ethylene- co -vinyl acetate) (EVA) grafted PMMA copolymer . Pure PMMA coatings on optical fibers have a tendency to form cracks on bending.…”

“…Tomić et al have investigated the adhesive and mechanical properties of a poly(ethylene- co -vinyl acetate) (EVA) grafted PMMA copolymer. 52 Pure PMMA coatings on optical fibers have a tendency to form cracks on bending. Hence, PMMA was grafted on the adhesive EVA to develop polymer coatings with better mechanical strength.…”

“…Good adhesion to a wide range of materials (such as metals, ceramics and polymers) is a main advantage of EVA (and its blends) coatings, and thus an important reason why they are extensively used in diverse applications. Among the many worth mentioning are drug releasing [14], heat-sealable [15], or anticorrosive [16], as well as coatings and adhesives for solar and optical fiber application [12,17]. Nonetheless, most commonly used methods of the coating fabrication such as spray technique or wet laminating require dissolving the coating material in some organic solvent, and what is more lead to thick layers, in which thicknesses range from several dozen to several hundred microns.…”
