CAVASOL

Description du produit

CAVASOL® cyclodextrins are a range of chemically modified α, β and γ cyclodextrins, i.e. cyclodextrin derivatives. The main commercial products are hydroxypropyl-modified α, β and γ-cyclodextrins and methylated β-cyclodextrins. However, many others products have been developed, but not sold commercially. The main benefit of this modification is to significantly increase solubility in aqueous media.

Caractéristiques du produit

• Emulsion polymerization is the most important industrial polymerization process for manufacturing water based polymers.
• This heterogeneous process requires diffusion of monomers from the emulsified droplets, through the aqueous medium, to the polymer particles where polymerization takes place.
• Adequate solubility of the monomer is necessary for diffusion to occur effectively. Consequently, very hydrophobic monomers cannot be readily incorporated by emulsion polymerization.
• Cyclodextrin Innovations in Polymers of xxCyclodextrins Are Effective Phase Transfer Agents for Very Hydrophobic Monomers in Emulsion Polymerisations
