Everywhere you go, there are adhesives. Out in public, at work, and in the home, adhesives are the bonds of our lives. You may have a notion of what an adhesive is, but here’s a helpful definition: an adhesive is simply a substance that bonds two substrates together. No matter where you are, you’re... read more
Chemists will ask multiple questions whenever they’re asked to create a recipe for a polymer emulsion for a specific application. In this two-part series, we’re discussing the insights related to the four big questions that they ask in these situations. The third question that a chemist will ask is... read more
Chemists will ask multiple questions whenever they’re asked to create a recipe for a polymer emulsion for a specific application. In this two-part series, we’ll take a look at the four big questions that they ask in these situations. The first question a chemist will ask when designing a recipe for... read more
It is difficult to generalize. If one of the two polymers behaves as an elastomer and the other is a hard plastic at room temperature, the IPN formed may be either a reinforced rubber or an impact-resistant plastic, depending on the ratio of the two. And preparation conditions.The results of electro... read more
Generally, the second monomer, together with the cross-linking agent and initiator (or activator), are swelled into the already cross-linked polymer I, and the second monomer is polymerized in situ and cross-linked to form polymer II, so that the latter It is interspersed in the polymer I network. I... read more
