Using Additives to Increase Porous Functionality

Why watch this on-demand webinar

One of the main benefits of porous polymers is that the porous structure can be used to “trap” additives that add another level of functionality to the component that is not possible with other types of materials.  Surface treatments can also be applied for added functionality by leveraging the large amount of surface area within the porous structure. 

In this webinar, learn about the various types of additives and treatments that can be used to add functionality and maximize the performance of your product beyond what the material itself provides. From treatments that increase the material’s hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or oleophobic nature to color-changing, self-sealing and bactericidal additives – and more – explore how additives and treatments can be used to take the performance of your product to a new level by using porous polymers. This webinar will explain how to design with both across all three main porous technology platforms – sintered porous plastics, porous fiber, and porous foam.

What you will learn in the webinar:

• Learn the science behind how additives and surface treatments work across different porous polymer technologies
• Explore different additives and surface treatments, and how to design with them to maximize your product’s performance
• See the additives and treatments in action in specific application examples
