Macromolecular Sciences

Polymer characteristics & behavior

Process behavior and performance in final applications

Macromolecular Sciences is about controlling the synthesis of macromolecular structures in order to influence polymer characteristics and behavior.?The ultimate goal? To create materials that are better or more sustainable in terms of their performance or cost. Examples include our Anti-Reflective coatings developed using a template silication process that increases the efficiency of solar cells; as well as powder coatings suitable for heat-sensitive substrates like MDF, developed from a unique combination of polycondensation, network chemistry, and extrusion processing expertise.

Advanced areas of expertise

Our specialized know-how on the chemistry of polymers that already exist includes network chemistry (cross-linking of polymers), polymer degradation and stability and interface chemistry - all of which are pivotal in ensuring that customers further down the value chain get the results they want from different polymer classes.

Advanced biomedical materials

Also included within Macromolecular Sciences are:

  • Polycondensation
  • Polyurethanes
  • Acrylic copolymers and hybrid systems
  • Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.

Influencing behavior and performance

Macromolecular Sciences focus on controlling polymer end groups, modality and intra-chain architecture in order to influence process behavior and performance in final applications. Since process parameters play a crucial role during the synthesis process, strong links with the Colloid & Interface, Process Technology and Materials Sciences are essential.
