Polymer Process Technology

Part 1. Reactive Process Capabilities

Three main catagories:
  • Reactive Compatibilization
    • Create Stable Morphologies in Polymer Blends and Composites
    • Improve Mechanical and Thermal Properties
  • Monomer Grafting to a Polymer Backbone
    • Add Functionality/Polarity to Polymer Chains
    • Grafted Polymer to be used as a Compatibilizer for Polymer Blends/Composites
  • Polymerization Reactions
    • Addition as well as Condensation Types
    • Homo and Copolymerizations. Up to Four Monomer Components have been Investigated
    • Typical Goal is to Perform Polymerizations in Continuous Processing Equipment. Extrusion Equipment Primarily but not Exclusively Used
