What is 2-Ethoxyethyl Methacrylate?

The Uses of 2-Ethoxyethyl Methacrylate

The free-radical initiated copolymerizations of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with 2-Ethoxyethyl Methacrylate (2-EOEMA) were carried out by Manju et al. using 2,2-azo-bisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator in 1,4-dioxane solutions[1].
