General description
Crotonic acid undergoes esterification with butan-2-ol by following second order reaction kinetics.
Application
Crotonic acid is used in the copolymerization of crotonic acid hydrogel systems by using gamma-rays. The crosslinked copolymeric crotonic acid hydrogels release fertilizers and drugs that help to prevent environmental pollution.
Preparation Note
Crotonic acid dissolves in water at a concentartion of 100 mg/ml to yield a clear, colorless solution.

The inexhaustible nature and biodegradability of bioplastics like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) make them suitable assets to replace synthetic plastics. The eventual fate of these eco-friendly and non-toxic bioplastics relies upon the endeavors towards satisfying cost and, in addition, execution necessity. In
