Product Overview

Access to nanosize self-organized polymers

• Block copolymers
  
• Incompatibility between blocks  organization at the nanometer scale
  
• Anionic polymerization  SBM
  
• Controlled Radical Polymerization (CRP)  ABA, AB
  
  • Functional comonomers can be added (AA, MAA, PEGMA, HEMA, ...)
• Outstanding control of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, composition, chain architecture, functionalization (CRP)

 

Benefits and Applications

• Benefits
