Activity of functional groups on monomers and prepolymers and how to combine them to provide new and unique properties on substrates. Interaction of monomers and prepolymers and in linking them together to form new polymer side chains. Combining all reactive ingredients to formulate easy to apply, cost effective surface treatments, additives and adhesives. Upscaling chemically grafted formulations from laboratory to pilot scale to full scale manufacturing using existing/minimal equipment. Production of these unique formulation, supervised by a Ph.D. in polymer chemistry to ensure each shipment is quality controlled. _______________________________________________________ Frequently Asked Questions Can Chemical Grafting impart desirable properties of an expensive plastic onto a less expensive plastic? Yes, the less expensive would then have the properties of a more expensive plastic resulting in tremendous cost saving. Can Chemical Grafting work on any substrate? No, although we have a vast array of activation monomers, they cannot activate every substrate. Email us @ info@advancedpolymersolutions.com for a complete list of substrates which cannot be grafted. Can my company patent the formulation once it is developed? Yes, you will own the formulation, we will assist in obtaining your patent. Are the formulations safe? Yes, The ingredients in all APS formulations will be completely safe, can be water based in many cases, and will conform to OSHA, EPA and, if required, FDA guidelines. Can a chemically grafted formulation be used to attach two different types of plastic? Yes, in this case two different types of monomers will be used to activate the substrate. This application would be used as a coating between the two substrates. Can the formulation be added to ink? Yes to improve adhesion to various substrates, glass, textiles, etc. Also to impart desirable properties into the ink such as scratch resistance. Once developed can Advanced Polymer Solutions manufacture the coating or additive? Yes, we can manufacture the formulation in any amount to meet your requirements. When grafting onto metals is any heat source required? No, our activation monomers will bond to the metal forming a covalent bond.
