Custom Polymer Synthesis Services

CM-Tec carries out custom polymer synthesis and contract polymer research to meet our customers' outsourcing needs. A large array of companies use our services for their various needs; some companies even take our services as the extension of their research or synthesis capabilities. The organizational category of our customers covers private companies, universities, national labs, etc. We provide custom polymer synthesis services to our clients by using various polymerization mechanisms, for example,

• Free radical polymerization
  

• Ring-opening polymerization
  

• Anionic polymerization (Living)
  

• Cationic polymerization (Living)
  

• ATRP polymerization (Living)
  

• RAFT polymerization (Living)
  

• Condensation polymerization, etc.

  
  

With some appealing features, living polymerization methods enable us to make well defined polymers such as polymers with well controlled molecular weight and narrow distribution, block copolymers, end-functionalized polymers, etc. Anionic polymerization has been an extensively used living method thus far in our lab; going to the page of Anionic polymerization you may see some more detail.

The polymer products that we have custom made for our clients include homo- or co- polymers, hydrophobic polymers, hydrophilic polymers, amphiphilic polymers, phosphazene polymers, functionalized oligomers, fluorescent dye-tagged polymers, biocompatible polymers, biodegradable polymers, hydrogels, etc. We encourage you to tell us your special needs and let's start to effectively work together.

We also conduct organic compound synthesis. Oftentimes we synthesize special monomers as a part of work to make final polymers. Our lab facilities are well equipped for performing different polymerization processes, such as solution, emulsion, suspension, bulk polymerizations, etc. The batch scale could vary from milligrams to tens of kilograms.
