Copolymer vs. Homopolymers: What Are the Differences?
2024-03-25
Copolymers and homopolymers are distinct groups of polymers defined by the makeup and arrangement of their chemical structures. Homopolymers are distinguished by the fact that they are formed of one type of repeated monomer. Conversely, copolymers are made of at least two variants of monomers in any form of repeating pattern. While copolymers and homopolymers have some varying mechanical propertie...

Does adding glass fiber affect the gloss of PP material
2024-04-30
The addition of glass fibers to the polymer usually makes its surface rougher, which can lead to a reduction in gloss. The specific degree of impact depends on the proportion, length and shape of the glass fiber added, as well as processing conditions and other factors. Glass fiber is relatively rough, and incompatible with plastic, added to the plastic material, resulting in a less smooth surface...
