SynopsisPolyadipates are aliphatic, medium to ultra-high molecular weight polyesters formed from polyalcohols and adipic acid bny polycondensation. These linear or lightly branched polyester polyols have a low melting and glass transition temperature, high resistance .....
SynopsisAliphatic polyglycols, also called polyether glycols or polyols, are viscous liquids or waxy solids depending on molecular weight and hydroxyl content. The only exception is polyoxymethylene (see Polyacetal) which is a highly crystalline polymer. The three mos.....
SynopsisOxitanes are low molecular weight resins having one or more four-membered rings of three carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Two very common oxetanes are 3-ethyl-3-hydroxymethyl oxetane (OXA), and 3-Ethyl-3-phenoxymethyloxetane (EHOX). These resins have typicall.....
SynopsisPolynorbornene or polynorbornylene (PNB) is an amorphous, transparent thermoplastic with high glass transition temperature (> 310K). The monomer norbornene is produced via Diels-Alder reaction of ethylene and cyclopentadien and the polymer via ring-opening met.....
SynopsisCyclic olefin polymers are attractive high temperature polymers with outstanding optical properties, good chemical and heat resistance, and excellent dimensional stability. The three most important cyclo olefin monomers are norbornene, cyclopentadiene (CPD), a.....
SynopsisPolyxylylene adipamide, often abbreviated as PA-MXD6, PMXD6 or Nylon-MXD6, is a thermoplastic crystalline polyamide produced by polycondensation of meta-xylylenediamine (MXDA) with adipic acid. Market Analysis and Insights: Global Polyxylylene Adi.....
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.....
