Solvent

Mandarin:
溶剂 (róng jì)
Explanation in English Language (EN):
A solvent is a substance, usually a liquid, that dissolves another substance (solute) to form a solution. In polymer chemistry, solvents are used to dissolve monomers, polymers, and initiators, facilitating polymerization reactions and polymer processing. The choice of solvent can affect the solubility, viscosity, and reactivity of the components in the polymerization system.
Explanation in Mandarin (ZH):
