Polymer synthesis
Chempilots offers custom polymer synthesis on an R&D level. Our kilolab production unit is capable of clean room production of 1kg to 5 tons/year for medical applications. We can take your project from lab to pilot to full-scale production in a single seamless process – and all under one roof.
Why custom synthesis ?
In our experience custom synthesis comes to the fore when you are looking for:
- Unique or tailored functional properties
- Long-term implant materials
- Long-term supply availability and transparency (technical + QA)
- Controlled impurity profiles
- Super high purity
Polymer synthesis and processing capabilities
We have experience with free radical, anionic, ring opening, cationic and condensation polymerization in a range of different processing formats (solution, suspension, emulsion, reverse phase emulsion). Projects that we have solved that can only be solved by proper ab-initio synthesis and processing include:
- Synthesis of nitrogen monoxide loaded linear polyethyleneimine
- Performance optimization of a star PO:EO block copolymer
- Controlled random free radical copolymerization
- Controlled random EO-functional expoxide copolymerization
- Controlled free radical copolymerization yielding homogenous copolymers
- Synthesis processing under conditions that suppress polymer precipitation
- Mw control with proper suppression of unwanted high and low Mw components
- Suspension polymerization with fines suppression
- Super high purity polymers for medical and electronics use
- Light curable polyanhydrides
Our experience spans a wide range of materials, including:
- PEG copolymers, PEG block-copolymers, star PEGs
- PLGA and other PLA copolymers
- Polyorthoesters
- Polyanhydrides
- Silicone hydrogels
- Acrylic cement powder
- Derivatized cellulose for cell encapsulation
- Nitrogen monoxide (NO) loaded linear polyethyleneimine
- High purity standard thermoplastic polymers
- High Mw water soluble polymers
- Various polyesters
