SynopsisImpact modified styrene methyl methacrylate (SMMA), also known as Methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS, MMBS), has rubber particles dispersed throughout its methyl methacrylate-styrene polymer matrix. It is a clear engineering and commodity thermoplastic.....
SynopsisSilyl-terminated polethers, also known as silane modified polymers (SMP) or MS-polymers, are innovative and environmentally friendly resins.1 They are made up of polypropylene oxide, also known as polypropylene glycol (PPG), which is terminated with hydrolyzab.....
SynopsisPolylactams are a family of synthetic aliphatic thermoplastic resins, produced via ring-opening polymerization of cyclic amides (lactams). The by far most important polylactam is polycaprolactam or Nylon 6 which accounts for almost one-third of all polyamides......
SynopsisPolylaurolactam, also called Nylon 12, is a thermoplastic polymer with the formula [-(CH2)11C(O)NH-]n. It is made from either ω-aminolauric acid or laurolactam, each having 12 carbon atoms. This type of polyamide has excellent impact strength and much lower mo.....
SynopsisPolyphosphate esters (POPEs), are an important class of organophosphorus compounds. They are produced by reacting a phosphoric acid derivative such as an aryl or alkyl dihalophosphate or a phosphoric anhydride with a diol or diol prepolymer. Marke.....
SynopsisPolydodecanolactam (also called Nylon 12, PA 12) is a thermoplastic polymer with the formula [-(CH2)11C(O)NH-]n. It is made from either ω-aminolauric acid or laurolactam, each having 12 carbon atoms. This type of polyamide has excellent impact strength and muc.....
SynopsisAldehyde ketone resins, also known as polyaldehyde resin, cyclohexanone or ketonic resins, are condensation products of cyclohexanone and an aldehyde such as formaldehyde or isobutyraldehyde. These products are typically pale to light yellow solids that are so.....
SynopsisAliphatic polyketones are a relatively new class of polymers with many attractive and unique properties. The two most common aliphatic ketones are poly(ethylene ketone) and copolymers of ethylene and propylene ketone. Both polymers have high tensile and impact.....
SynopsisOrgano polyphosphates, also known as polyphosphate esters (POPEs), are an important class of organophosphorus compounds. They are produced by reacting a phosphoric acid derivative such as an aryl or alkyl dihalophosphate or a phosphoric anhydride with a diol o.....
SynopsisA common phosphate modified resin is DOPO modified novolac epoxy (DOPO-NE). This chemical modification makes the epoxy resin flame retardant. Another impotant class of phosphate esters are vinyl phosphates such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate phosphate (HEMA-Ph.....
