Cationic monomers in plastics are typically appear as clear or slightly colored liquids. Key features include their ability to produce polymers with excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. They are suitable for applications in automotive parts, adhesives, and coatings. Cationic monomers are particularly valued for producing polymers like polyisobutylene and poly(N-vinylcarbazole), which are widely used in various industries[1].
Alternatives include anionic and free-radical monomers. A notable trend in the industry is the increasing use of cationic monomers in high-performance applications, driven by their superior properties. Sub-types include alkenes with electron-donating substituents and heterocyclic monomers.
