Polymers of esters of acrylic acid having an average chain length of about 6 to about 30 mers are prepared by an anionic polymerization reaction, carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of an alkoxide anion. These polymers, their hydrolysis products, and their derivatives have a wide variety...http://www.google.com.au/patents/US4246370?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US4246370 - Use of novel polymers of alkyl acrylates
