ACN stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of ACN across different fields and industries.
A monomer with the structure (CH2:CHCN). It is most useful in copolymers. Its copolymer with butadiene is nitrile rubber, and several copolymers with styrene exist that are tougher than polystyrene. It is also used as a synthetic fiber and as a chemical intermediate. or Acrylonitrile is used as an intermediate in the production of acrylic fibers as well as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and SAN resins, and as monomer for polyacrylonitrile.
