Application

Poly(acrylic acid), commonly known as Carbomer, serves multiple roles across diverse industries due to its versatile properties. It is widely utilized in disposable diapers, ion exchange resins, and adhesives. In pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and paints, poly(acrylic acid) acts as an effective thickening, dispersing, suspending, and emulsifying agent. Its ability to absorb and retain water, resulting in significant swelling, makes it invaluable in these applications. Additionally, it is integral in the production of hydrogels for research purposes, enhancing solute diffusion studies. It also plays a critical role in controlled drug delivery systems, where it is used for sustained release matrix beads and as an enzyme inhibitor in specific dosage forms. The material has notable applications in the preparation of responsive block copolymers, micellar delivery systems for hydrophobic drugs, and even in intranasal drug administration. The wide-ranging utility of poly(acrylic acid) is underscored by its ability to form bioadhesive formulations for various therapeutic applications, including improving symptoms of dry eye syndrome.
