With some appealing features, living polymerization methods enable us to make well defined polymers such as polymers with well controlled molecular weight and narrow distribution, block copolymers, end- functionalized polymers, etc. Anionic polymerization has been an extensively used living method thus far in our lab; going to the page of Anionic Polymerization, you may see some more detail.
The polymers or specialty polymer products that we have custom made for our clients include homo- or co- polymers, hydrophobic polymers, hydrophilic polymers, amphiphilic polymers, phosphazene polymers, functionalized oligomers, ethoxylates, fluorescent dye-tagged polymers, biocompatible polymers, biodegradable polymers, hydrogels, etc. We encourage you to tell us your special needs, so that we can effectively work with you to design polymers, and develop and optimize polymerization processes as well.
Sometimes our clients have interests in modifying market-available polymers to obtain some particular properties, e.g., sulfonated polystyrene or styrene unit-containing copolymers, various functional ended PEGs, special moiety modified PVAs, and so forth. The modification of polymers has been lending us another effective way to serve our customers.
Our lab facilities are well equipped for performing different polymerization processes, such as solution, emulsion, suspension, bulk polymerizations, etc. The batch scale could vary from milligrams to tens of kilograms.
