Resin is a kind of polymer widely used in industry and life, their synthesis methods are mainly divided into the following::
Emulsion polymerization: Emulsion polymerization means that the monomer is dissolved in water to form an emulsion, and then the catalyst and surfactant are added to produce a resin through the emulsion polymerization reaction. The advantage of emulsion polymerization is that it can react at relatively low temperature and pressure, and the synthesized resin has good stability and luster.
Solution polymerization: Solution polymerization means that the monomer is dissolved in the solvent to form a solution, and then the catalyst and surfactant are added to produce a resin through the solution polymerization reaction. Solution polymerization has the advantage of low reaction temperature and less environmental pollution, but the synthesized resin usually has high viscosity and hardness.
Bulk polymerization: Bulk polymerization refers to the direct polymerization of monomers into resins under the action of catalysts. The advantage of bulk polymerization is that the reaction speed is fast and the synthesized resin has high purity and high strength. However, the disadvantage of bulk polymerization is that it requires high temperature and high pressure reaction, which requires high equipment, and will produce a lot of waste water and exhaust gas.
Suspension polymerization: Suspension polymerization refers to the polymerization of monomers in suspension. The advantages of suspension polymerization are fast reaction speed and high transparency of the synthesized resin, but it is necessary to choose the appropriate suspension agent and dispersant.
Each of the above four synthesis methods has advantages and disadvantages, and which method to choose to synthesize resin should be determined according to the specific application scenarios and needs. In addition, the properties of resins obtained by different synthesis methods are also different.
In addition to the synthesis methods mentioned above, there are some special synthesis methods, which are briefly introduced below::
Polycondensation reaction: Polycondensation reaction refers to the reaction of polymerization of monomers into polymer compounds. Polycondensation reaction is usually divided into two types: polycondensation reaction and polycondensation reaction. Polycondensation reaction is the polymerization of multiple monomers into a larger molecule, and polycondensation reaction is the polymerization of one monomer into two or more monomers. The resin synthesized by the polycondensation reaction usually has high viscosity and strength.
Thermoplastic resin synthesis: Thermoplastic resin refers to a resin that can soften and melt when heated, but can harden again when cooled. Thermoplastic resins are usually synthesized by solution polymerization, suspension polymerization or emulsion polymerization. Unlike thermosetting resins, thermoplastic resins have better fluidity and plasticity and can be used to manufacture a variety of plastic products.
Different synthesis methods can obtain resins with different properties, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate method according to the actual demand when selecting the synthesis method. At the same time, the synthesis of resin involves many chemical and physical principles, and requires professional guidance and operation.
