BlocBuilder® Controller for Free Radical Polymerization
BlocBuilder® is a remarkable new alkoxyamine compound that allows the control of free radical polymerizations. This nitroxide-based technology is the basis of several Arkema patents and can be used to customize polymer structures with tailored properties. BlocBuilder® enables the production of polymers with: - Reduced polydispersity (tighter molecular weight distribution)
- Controlled copolymer sequencing, allowing manufacture of block, gradient, and star copolymers
As a result, novel polymers with unique properties can be created for applicants in diverse fields including adhesives, toughening agents, compatibilizers, coating additives, paint additives, dispersants, and medical, electronic, personal care, and consumer goods. The technology enables numerous benefits including improved adhesion, toughness, rheology, pigment disperson, and aesthetics. Arkema has developed expertise in designing copolymers to meet specific end-use performance needs. Arkema's flexible business model supports diverse marketplace requirements. Depending on your needs and interests, you can purchase either the BlocBuilder® controller, reactive copolymer intermediates, or custom-designed copolymers.
