Phenylethyl methacrylate

Description:
Phenylethyl methacrylate (PEMA) is an organic compound classified as a methacrylate ester. It features a phenylethyl group attached to the methacrylate moiety, which contributes to its unique properties. PEMA is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor and is known for its low viscosity. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. The compound is primarily used in the production of polymers and copolymers, which find applications in coatings, adhesives, and various plastic materials due to their excellent mechanical properties and resistance to UV light. PEMA can undergo polymerization through free radical mechanisms, making it valuable in the synthesis of specialty polymers. Additionally, it exhibits good thermal stability and can be modified to enhance its performance in specific applications. Safety precautions should be taken when handling PEMA, as it may cause skin and eye irritation. Overall, phenylethyl methacrylate is a versatile compound with significant industrial relevance.
