Polymer Synthesis
National Polymer has a team of polymer scientists with extensive experience in custom polymer synthesis, and polymerization techniques. We understand the fundamentals of structure-property relationships and, more importantly, the chemistry required to synthesize custom polymers. By selecting the proper monomers and oligomers, and optimizing reactions and processes, using high throughput polymer synthesis techniques when necessary, we can participate in a broad range of polymer chemistries, targeting the proper molecular architecture for your application. By designing a polymer with a specific molecular weight range, morphology, and functionality, we can control properties such as modulus, elasticity, crystallinity, glass transition temperature, and reactivity.
The resulting polymers, when incorporated into the proper formulations, can be used for specialized applications in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and beyond.

Polymer Synthesis, or polymerization, occurs when various monomers, which are the basic individual building blocks of a polymer, are bonded together at the molecular level to form a desired custom polymer structure or chain. These custom synthesized polymers, when incorporated into the proper formulations, can then be utilized in specialized applications in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and beyond.
