Reduce polymer production failures
Control polymer properties with greater precision
By controlling the molecular weight, branching and chemistry, you can tailor a polymer’s properties for a range of applications from containers and fittings to viscosity modifiers and drug delivery vehicles.
Your challenge here may be that the physical properties and behaviour of polymer products depends strongly on the properties of the polymer molecules themselves.
Leading manufacturers control the level of branching, or substitution of a polymer, so that they are optimally placed on a Mark-Houwink plot for their given application. In doing so, they can control the physical properties of their materials with greater precision.
The result of this improved control is higher quality and a higher value product with fewer production failures. In research, it means more successful syntheses, greatly improved data quality and faster publication.
