Applications of PAA may include:
· to study solute diffusion in Polyvinyl alcohol/PAA copolymer hydrogel
· synthesizing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-PAA copolymer which responds to both temperature and pH stimuli
· in preparing block copolymer of oligo (methyl methacrylate)/PAA for micellar delivery of hydrophobic drugs
· as thickening agent for adhesives
