Acrylic polymerized polysiloxane chemistry: MerckRecent Research Landscape
Standard siloxane films suffer from poor mechanical durability and adhesion failures in cured states. Engineering the acrylic-polysiloxane interface stabilizes the polymer matrix to ensure consistent film integrity.
What technical problems is Merck addressing in Acrylic polymerized polysiloxane chemistry?
Interfacial delamination and poor adhesion
(23)evidences
Incompatible surface energies between acrylic and siloxane phases cause structural delamination. Resolving this prevents mechanical breakdown in hybrid polymer systems.
Interfacial layer segregation instability
(17)evidences
Inconsistent integration of inorganic silica within polymer matrices leads to phase separation and structural weakness. Achieving uniform distribution prevents material failure and ensures predictable mechanical properties.
