    On July 12, Cangzhou Dahua announced that the company's copolysilicon PC products had recently been successfully commissioned for a trial run, becoming the first domestic company to produce copolysilicon PCs by continuous production


    Copolymerized silicon PC is a high-end PC product with broad development space and huge market potential

    Noble in Polycarbonate - Copolymer PC

    PC is a common engineering plastic, but ordinary polycarbonate has poor impact resistance and chemical resistance, and cannot be used in many fields


    The development trend of PC materials

    In 1969, GE first developed polysiloxane (PDMS) copolycarbonate


    1.


    Both conventional PC and silicon-containing PC synthetic monomers contain bisphenol A and phosgene, but silicon-containing PC is also copolymerized with polydimethylsiloxane


    We all know that polycarbonate has a rigid group with a huge benzene ring, which limits the internal rotation of the molecular segment, and the strong polar group -COO (ester group) provides a large intermolecular force, making The molecular chains are bound to each other, further weakening the flexibility of the molecular chains

    The introduction of the organosilicon group increases the length of the structural unit, reduces the rigidity of the bulky benzene ring, increases the flexibility of the molecular chain, and thus improves the fluidity of the PC material


    2) Improve hydrolysis resistance

    To understand why hydrolysis resistance is improved, organosiloxane "-Si-0-Si-" is a hydrophobic group, and there is a strong chemical affinity between organosilicon compounds and inorganic silicate materials, using this It can effectively change the characteristics of the surface of the material to achieve a hydrophobic effect


    3) Improve high and low temperature resistance, flame retardant, corrosion resistance and other properties

    Due to the unique structure of organic silicon, it has both the properties of inorganic materials and organic materials.


    Therefore, the organic silicon is inserted into the PC, so that the high and low temperature resistance of the PC can be improved, so that the mechanical properties at normal temperature can still be maintained at -30 ° C ~ -40 ° C; and the oxidation resistance stability and weather resistance of silicone Features, so that the oxidation resistance of PC is improved; yellowing resistance is enhanced

    Application cases of SABIC copolymerized PC in various industries

    The most popular application in the near future is the application on the shell of medical equipment


    PC copolymers are used in frequently sterilized, autoclavable medical device housings due to their good chemical resistance

    A bio-based polycarbonate (PC) resin developed by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation of Japan
    .
    The comonomer of the transparent bioengineering plastic DURABIO developed by it is isosorbide instead of the traditional bisphenol

    A.

    DURABIO is not biodegradable and is suitable for a range of engineering applications
    .
    Compared with traditional PC resins, the main advantages of DURABIO are high transparency, excellent optical properties and high abrasion resistance

    .
    Its excellent optical properties benefit from the raw material isosorbide

    .
    Isosorbide is extracted from glucose and is a widely used biological raw material

    .

    According to Mitsubishi Chemical, DURABIO's optical properties and impact resistance are superior to conventional PC resins, and unlike bisphenol A, isosorbide is an aliphatic compound
    .
    In addition to high transparency and optical uniformity, this PC resin will only slightly yellow when exposed to light; the high transparency makes it easy to color even darker shades and metallic effect paints
