Additional effects and optimized performance in processing and use
Specialty molecules known as functional monomers can provide a standard polymer with additional, enhanced performance effects and/or significantly improve processing performance when incorporated into the polymerization process.
SONGWON develops, manufactures and supplies different functional monomers based on three backbone chemistries:
- DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) type
- Bisphenol type
- Fluorene type
SONGWON Functional Monomers are used in all epoxy resins, epoxy resin composites and polycarbonates applications for example skis, wind turbine foils, electronic components, eyewear, glass replacement, aerospace applications, cars, and many more.
DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) type is mainly used as an epoxy resin modifier (ERM) in epoxy chain-extending reactions, primarily for the manufacture of epoxy composites.
Bisphenol type is used in the manufacture of numerous plastics and epoxy resins. Applications for bisphenol-based plastic, which is clear and tough, include a variety of common consumer goods, such as water bottles, sports equipment, CDs, and DVDs. Epoxy resins containing bisphenols are used to line water pipes and coatings, and in the manufacture of thermal paper, such as that used in sales receipts.
Fluorene type is highly suitable as components of a conducting polymer because they can stabilize and conduct a charge. The luminescent, electronic and absorptive properties of fluorene make it attractive for devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells, and organic thin-film sensors.
