Methyl acrylate is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It is a versatile monomer used in the production of various polymers, including acrylic resins, acrylic fibers, and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Its synthesis typically involves the reaction of methanol with acrylic acid, catalyzed by an acid. Methyl acrylate is also produced as a byproduct of the production of other chemicals, such as ethylene oxide. It is a reactive compound and readily polymerizes, which makes it suitable for use in adhesives, coatings, and sealants. The compound is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, textiles, and agricultural chemicals. Methyl acrylate is known to be a skin and eye irritant and can be harmful if inhaled. It is also a potential allergen. Research on methyl acrylate focuses on its use in various applications, its environmental impact, and its safety aspects.'
