Polymethylacrylate
Encyclopedia
Polymethylacrylate is a synthetic
polymer
used to absorb water in diapers, pads, etc. It can absorb up to 400 times its own mass.
Polyalkylmethylacrylate is a synthetic polymer used to improve the high temperature viscosity
of industrial lubricants.
Synthetic
Synthesis, the combination of two or more parts, whether by design or by natural processes. Furthermore, it may imply being prepared or made artificially, in contrast to naturally.-In the sense of combination:* Synthetic position, a concept in finance...

Viscosity
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear or tensile stress. In everyday terms , viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity...
