Each of the systems that we have designed and built under this category of projects can be described by reference to one of the following polymerization processes: 

Bulk or block polymerization 

This process is the simplest in terms of formulation, and is conducted in the absence of any solvent or dispersant.  A monomer, polymer and initiator are the only components.  Applications include most step-growth and many chain-growth polymers. 

The term polycarbonate refers to polymers with functional groups linked together by carbonate groups in a long molecular chain.  Compared to most other plastics, polycarbonates offer incredible strength, exceptional durability, excellent transparency and light weight – one-sixth as heavy as glass – properties that position these materials between commodity and engineered plastics.
