How Do Ion Exchange Resins Work? Structure Ion exchange resins are composed of three parts: the insoluble three-dimensional space network polymer skeleton, the ion functional group connected to the skeleton, and the exchangeable ion pore with opposite charges on the functional group. Polymer skeleton: It is composed of cross-linked polymers, such as cross-linked polystyrene, polyacrylic acid, etc. Ion exchange group: It is connected to the polymer skeleton and has ionic functional groups with exchangeable ions, such as -SO3Na, -COOH, -N(CH3)3Cl, etc., or polar non-ionic functional groups, such as -N(CH3)2, -N(CH3)H, etc. Pore: It is the pore in the polymer structure (gel pore)…

Since its commercial use in 2015, although liquid crystal displays equipped with quantum dot technology have significantly improved in display color gamut and rendering effects, their popularity is far below expectations. On the one hand, the maturity of quantum dot technology is not good, and the stability and cost of products are relatively high; on the other hand, the price of models using quantum dot display technology is relatively high, which hinders the popularization of technology. With the introduction and popularization of Mini-LEDs with smaller LED light-emitting crystals, quantum dot technology…
The composition of cosmetics is very complex and varies with different types. Most cosmetics are processed from the cosmetic matrix (base) plus some other necessary ingredients (additives). Cosmetic substrates are the basic raw materials of cosmetics. They are mainly oily raw materials, including oils, waxes, hydrocarbons, and higher fatty acids and higher alcohols that make up these ingredients. Salicylic acid Also known as β-hydroxy acid (BHA, beta hydroxy acid), salicylic acid has multiple functions and can solve various problems that cause acne. Dermatologists have used salicylic acid to exfoliate skin for decades, but it's also an…
