General description

Ethyl acrylate can be used as a flavoring agent in the food industry. It is one of the main volaitle components identified in organic passion fruit pulp.

Application


  • Refractive index adjustable intraocular lens design to achieve diopter control for improving the treatment of ametropia after cataract surgery.: This study involves the use of ethyl acrylate in developing intraocular lenses with adjustable refractive indices, which aims to improve visual outcomes in patients undergoing cataract surgery by providing customizable diopter control (Hong et al., 2024).
