Other Structural Applications
Pore Formers
QPAC® poly(alkylene carbonates) are uniquely suited for use as direct pore formers.
Key Benefits:
- Decomposes completely by 300°C in any environment
- Very low ash residue with the complete burn-out of carbon
- Available in a range of molecular weights, standard QPAC® has a range of 100,000 – 300,000 Mw
- Amorphous
- Solubilize completely and homogeneously to form a true solution
- Millable into fine powders
- QPAC®40 is available as a particle suspended in a water-based emulsion, all QPAC® materials are available in granulate/ pellet form or solution
- Excellent film-forming and coating capabilities
- Benign emissions; the products of combustions are carbon dioxide and water vapor, which are non-toxic, non-flammable, and environmentally safe
- Decomposition occurs in a wide range of sintering atmospheres including, air, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, and vacuum
Applications include:
- Mesoporous Carbon Composites
- Titanium Structures
- Fuel Cells
- Medical Implants
- Thermoplastic Films and Stock Shapes
- Mortars, Concrete and Artificial Stone
- Foams and Tapes
Medical Implants
