Polyquaterniums are commonly listed in cosmetic ingredient declarations in the form of “Polyquaternium-number,” such as Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaternium-10, Polyquaternium-22, Polyquaternium-37, and Polyquaternium-55. In the industry, PQ is often used as the abbreviation for Polyquaternium.
Polyvinyl acetate, commonly abbreviated as PVAc, is a polymer obtained by the polymerization of vinyl acetate monomer. Vinyl acetate is commonly abbreviated as VAc.
Acrylic resins are polymers or copolymers formed through the polymerization of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and their ester monomers as the main structural units. In coatings, acrylic resins are commonly used as film-forming materials or primary binder resins. They influence coating-film ...
When common insulating resins, elastomers, or binders are used as the matrix, the continuous polymer phase usually lacks an effective pathway for electron transport. After a small amount of graphene, carbon nanotubes, or carbon black is added, the material still remains close to insulating.
Synthetic liquid polyisoprene generally refers to polymers or oligomers that use isoprene as the repeating unit, have relatively low molecular weight, and appear as liquids or highly viscous fluids at room temperature or under processing conditions. Although it belongs to the same polyisoprene ...
Hydrophobic polymers are not niche materials—they form the “base color” of our everyday plastic world. A large number of common polymers are chemically low-polarity and low–surface-energy, and therefore naturally show poor water wettability, weak compatibility with water, and pronounced ...
Many medical products can feel comfortable, conform well, be implantable, or enable controlled drug release because polymers are “quietly doing the work” behind the scenes.
Aqueous systems run through both research and industry: waterborne formulations (coatings/adhesives/personal care), biomedical materials (dressings/drug delivery/tissue engineering), separation and water-treatment membranes, and electrolytes/ion-conducting materials, among others.
Fluorinated polyimide (PI) monomers generally refer to dianhydrides, diamines, and dihydric phenols (or other monomers capable of forming an imide-containing backbone) used to synthesize fluorinated polyimides (FPI) and related copolymers. In mainstream PI backbone construction, the most common ...
One of the desirable end-goals of materials science research is the development of multi-functional materials. These materials are defined as compositions that bring more than one property enhancement to a particular application, thus allowing the material to replace more than one other material ...
