  2. Polyamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamide

    Production of polymers requires the repeated joining of two groups to form an amide linkage. In this case this specifically involves amide bonds, and the two groups involved are an amine group, and a terminal carbonyl component of a functional group. These react to produce a carbon-nitrogen bond, creating a singular amide linkage. This process ...

  3. Polyacrylamide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyacrylamide

    In the oil and gas industry, polyacrylamide derivatives (especially co-polymers) have a substantial effect on production by enhanced oil recovery by viscosity enhancement. High viscosity aqueous solutions can be generated with low concentrations of polyacrylamide polymers, which are injected to improve the economics of conventional water-flooding.

  4. Thermoplastic elastomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_elastomer

    TPE became a commercial reality when thermoplastic polyurethane polymers became available in the 1950s. During the 1960s styrene block copolymer became available, and in the 1970s a wide range of TPEs came on the scene. The worldwide usage of TPEs (680,000 tons/year in 1990) is growing at about nine percent per year.

  5. Nylon 11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_11

    Nylon 11 or Polyamide 11 (PA 11) is a polyamide, bioplastic and a member of the nylon family of polymers produced by the polymerization of 11-aminoundecanoic acid. It is produced from castor beans by Arkema under the trade name Rilsan .

  6. Polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer

    When a polymer is applied as a coating, the chemical properties will influence the adhesion of the coating and how it interacts with external materials, such as superhydrophobic polymer coatings leading to water resistance. Overall the chemical properties of a polymer are important elements for designing new polymeric material products.

  7. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    When fluorocarbons are incorporated into surfactants they are used as stain repellents and incorporated into coatings in order to decrease surface defects. Silicon - Oxygen bonds resist chain breakdown from hydrolysis and will prevent cracking in paints. Siloxane chains consist of a backbone which contains alternating oxygen and silicon atoms ...

  8. Acrylate polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylate_polymer

    Polyacrylate emulsion, water-borne coating, are used as binder for outdoor and indoor "latex" house paints.; Acrylic paints as artist paints.; Acrylic fibre.; Sodium polyacrylate water-soluble thickeners, a polymer for the production of the Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) used in disposable diapers due to its high absorbency per unit mass.

  9. Foam latex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_latex

    To create foam latex, a liquid latex base is mixed with various additives and whipped into a foam, then poured or injected into a mold and baked in an oven to cure.The main components of foam latex are the latex base, a foaming agent (to help it whip into a froth), a gelling agent (to convert the liquid foam into a gel), and a curing agent (to turn the gelled foam latex into a solid when baked).
