Colorado Photopolymer Solutions (CPS)

Monomer Synthesis

CPS has synthesis expertise for a wide range of monomers. In addition to the novel monomers in stock, we also perform custom synthesis in small (a few grams) to large quantities (hundreds of kilograms).

Properties

Types of Monomers

Solubility control (very polar to very nonpolar and mixed).
low or high viscosity liquids as well as powders depending on your needs.
High refractive index monomers of all types (free radical, cationic, condensation, and other cure types).
Monomers that provide optical clarity
Monomers for increasing or decreasing the Tg of polymers
Dendrimeric monomers for shrinkage reduction, increased modulus, and increased Tg with out increased viscosity.
