“…By copolymerizing styrene with other monomers such as acrylates, the deficiencies of polystyrene are tempered, and desirable properties can be achieved. 2,3 Copolymers of hydrophobic monomers like styrene, alkyl acrylates, and acrylonitrile and small amounts (1-10%) of polar unsaturated carboxylated monomers like acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and itaconic acid are products of commercial interest because of their applications in paints, adhesives, binders, thickeners, and so forth. 4 The preparation of adhesive tape by applying a mixture of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), methacrylic acid, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymer emulsion with other additives, on polypropylene (PP) has been reported.…”
