Prepolymer

Mandarin:
预聚物 (yù jù wù)
Explanation in English Language (EN):
A prepolymer is a low-molecular-weight polymer that is an intermediate in the synthesis of a higher-molecular-weight polymer. Prepolymers are often used in step-growth polymerization, where they can be further reacted with other monomers or prepolymers to form the final polymer. Prepolymers can also be used to modify the properties of existing polymers.
Explanation in Mandarin (ZH):
预聚物是低分子量聚合物,是合成高分子量聚合物中的中间体。预聚物通常用于逐步增长聚合,它们可以与其他单体或预聚物进一步反应形成最终聚合物。预聚物也可用于改性现有聚合物的性能。
