Abstract:
Polysiloxane polymers have widespread applications in various fields ranging from construction to home & personal care products, due to their unique characteristics determined by their molecular structure. This makes the real-time monitoring of the polymerization reaction very important for controlling and optimizing the process. This presentation will discuss real-time monitoring of the polymerization reaction of dimethyl siloxane and vinyl siloxane using infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy to better understand the chemistry which can help optimize the process in manufacturing.
