SynopsisPoly(4-styrenesulfonic acid), also known as polystyrene sulfonic acid, is an anionic polyelctrolyte (ionomer or polyacid). The linear form is generally water-soluble whereas the cross-linked polymer (called ion-exchange resin) forms three-dimensional structure.....
SynopsisSemi-aromatic polyamides are heat resistant, semi-crystalline thermoplastic resins. They are copolymers made from the condensation of aliphatic amides, such as caprolactam and hexametylene diamine, with terephthalic acid and/or isophthalic acid. Semi-aromatic .....
SynopsisAliphatic polysulfides, also known as thiokols (T), are one of the oldest specialty elastomers. These sulfur containing polymers are prepared by the reaction between alkali metal polysulfides and α,ω-dihalo organic (ether) compounds. Market Analys.....
SynopsisPolysilanes are organosilicon compounds with the formula (R2Si)n. They are relatives of traditional organic polymers but their backbones are composed of silicon atoms. They exhibit distinctive optical and electrical properties. They are mainly used industriall.....
SynopsisGlycoluril is an organic chemical composed of two cyclic urea groups joined across the same two-carbon chain. It is a white powder that has been used in water treatment, in paints and coatings, and occasionally as a slow-release fertilizer. Market.....
SynopsisPolyamide block copolymers (COPAs) are high-performance, light-weight thermoplastic elastomers based on polyester-amide (PEA), polyether-esteramide (PEEA), or polyether-amide (PEBA) block copolymers. The polyamide portion forms the hard (thermoplastic) domains.....
SynopsisPolyvinyl chloride acetate (PVCA) is a transparent, mostly amorphous thermoplastic copolymer of about 80-95% vinyl chloride and 5-20% vinyl acetate. PVAC resins have high transparency, are odor- and tasteless, and are very tough, and durable. These resins also.....
SynopsisPolyvinylidene dichloride (PVDC), also called polyvinylidene chloride, is a clear, semi-crystalline thermoplastic produced by addition polymerization of 1,1-dichloroethylene. Films made from PVDC are optically clear, have high degree of gloss and low gas perme.....
SynopsisBisphenol A diglycidyl ether (commonly abbreviated BADGE or DGEBA) is an organic compound used as constituent of epoxy resins. The compound is a colorless solid (commercial samples can appear yellow) that melts slightly above room temperature. Mar.....
SynopsisPerfluorinated polymers are produced from alkenes in which hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine. Perfluorinated polymers have excellent chemical resistance and weatherability including UV and ozone resistance which increases with the number of fluorin.....
